IDS for EVERYONE is aimed at all professionals managing asset lifecycles with BIM, including clients, designers, contractors, and validators.

The book covers a wide range of topics, starting with an introduction to IDS and its significance in AEC workflows. It progresses to more advanced subjects, including the technical structure of IDS, the development of complex specifications using FACETs, value management, and interoperability with the buildingSMART Data Dictionary (bSDD).
