The project, to be completed by January 1, 2013, concerns the use of BIM and lean processes for a Sutter Hospital in Castro Valley. This talk will focus on the use of IPD as an approach that allowed the project team to collaborate closely from the start of the design process through the end of the project and produced superior results for the owner. The project will meet very demanding schedule requirements at a cost that is under the budget. This interactive presentation will cover:

• Organization of project team
• Contractual arrangements that allowed team to share the pain and gain on the project
• Approach used for close collaboration
• Technologies used for model creation, model storage and sharing
• Technologies used to allow use of model in the field
• Approach used to allow use of model for quantity takeoff and cost estimation
• And much, much, more!

This program will also show you how to:

• Learn who owns a final integrated design
• Understand who bears the cost of model management
• Recognize how the shift in terminology can create legal headaches
• Comprehend issues regarding insurability
• Protect your organization from the risks of software defects and failures
• And much, much, more!
