Nikken Sekkei Construction Management Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; President: Mikio Kiyofuji) issued the "Yasashii BIM® Handbook" on February 27, 2026. This handbook systematizes "Yasashii BIM®," a concept that positions BIM as a framework to support building operations, including client review and decision-making. The digital book and PDF are available for free on the Nikken Sekkei Construction Management website. (https://www.nikken-cm.com/about/document/)
The "Yasashii BIM® Handbook" is a resource that organizes concepts and practical methods for clients to utilize BIM in construction projects and promote DX. A key feature is its explanation of fundamental BIM concepts alongside practical application images from actual projects. It serves as a guide for those facing challenges in their construction project processes or for clients who have introduced BIM but have not been able to fully utilize it, helping them organize their review procedures. New content, such as case studies, will be added and updated as needed.
"Yasashii BIM®" is a tool designed to help clients make decisions by appropriately organizing necessary information and presenting it in an easily usable format. In conventional BIM utilization, even if a high-precision model was created, it often became too specialized by the time it reached the client's utilization stage. This resulted in it being difficult for the client to understand and not fully usable for decision-making. In contrast, "Yasashii BIM®" emphasizes starting from the purpose—"what is it for?"—selecting only the necessary information, and utilizing it in a complete form. Instead of modeling everything in detail, its feature is to organize and visualize the information required for decision-making, presenting it in a way that is easy for the client to judge. For example, by appropriately extracting and sharing necessary information with stakeholders at each phase, such as for cost and schedule reviews or equipment information selection with an eye on operations, consensus-building can proceed more smoothly. "Yasashii BIM®" does not aim to treat BIM as a specialized technology in itself but positions it as a practical tool to support client decision-making, contributing to the value enhancement of the entire project.
