the growth in the construction industry in Arab World especially in
Building Information Modeling (BIM) applications pushing us to develop
this magazine to satisfy the needs of the market. When the Arabic
version was published, many readers asked for translation into English
or any other language, Thus, we decided to translate it into English. If
anyone is interested in translating into any other language or join our

Nothing is wiser than what Abdul Rahim Bin Ali said “ I’ve never seen a
writer wrote a book without saying in the next day : If this was changed
it’d be better, If this was increased it’d be advisable, If this was moved
forward it woudl have been better and If this was let as it was it’d be
better, This is the greatest lesson and an evidence of the size of shortage
among humans.
Finally, after modicum progress in this broad knowledge
hopes to obtain admission and receive plaudits.
