Martina Mellenthin Filardo, research associate at the Chair for Construction Engineering and Management , and Judith Krischler, research associate at the Chair of Intelligent Technical Design and BIM expert at DB Netz, have dealt with the methodology of Building Information Modelling (BIM), in particular with Employer's Information Requirements (EIR), within the scope of their scientific and practical work. The definition of EIR is essential for successful project management with BIM. In cooperation with buildingSMART Germany, the work "Basiswissen zu Auftraggeber-Informationsanforderungen (AIA)" (Basic knowledge of Employer's Information Requirements) was created. It serves as a practical guide and provides background information and tips on a scientific basis using a commented sample structure. 

The book in the buildingSMART series BIM Basics is now published and can be ordered immediately by e-mail from bSD Verlag or in bookshops as a print version (ISBN 978-3-948742-12-6 ) or as an e-book version (ISBN 978-3-948742-13-3 ).
