This is a great opportunity to hear from three experts who use BIM in their jobs everyday and learn where BIM is today and where it is going
3 Perspectives to Using BIM:
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has 45 districts around the world and all are utilizing BIM in some capacity. Some are more advanced in BIM use than others, although ALL districts are involved in BIM work. David Rackmales will share how USACE utilizes BIM from the owner's perspective and the expectations they have today and moving forward.
- You'll hear from James Vandezande from HOK how architects are using BIM for: execution planning, enhanced visual studies, performance-based design and complying with new client BIM requirements.
- Scott Wood of Tishman Construction will share the benefits of BIM for the construction team including: structural steel connection detailing, scope allocation, clash detection for building components, shop drawing/direct fabrication, logistics plans, "4D" scheduling and sequencing, "5D" cost estimating, punchlist tracking and 3D as builts.
Who Will Benefit?
This training CD is a must if you're a public or private owner, construction manager, contractor, subcontractor, architect or engineer.
