Abstract
The BIM Manager has emerged as a new role within construction projects. The implementation and consistent application of a BIM-based approach requires certain regulations concerning project-specific application, the technologies selected, processes, responsibilities and specific instructions for the generation and processing of data. In addition, coordination and support are required throughout the life cycle of a project. This task is rather complex and requires knowledge in engineering and IT, and cannot, therefore, be adequately covered by established functions. It is, however, one of the key factors for the success of the implementation and beneficial application of Building Information Modeling within any project. To date, there is no standardized definition of the function of a BIM Manager. This section deals with the rationale on which this new function is based as well as the related responsibilities, tasks and required skills and expertise. In addition, the chapter discusses the integration of the BIM Manager into the project organization.
