Building Information Modeling & Integrated Project Delivery: An Advantage to Your Business in a Challenging Economy

The design and construction industry is going through a revolution unlike anything it has ever experienced. The rapid emergence of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is changing the way project teams work together to communicate, solve problems and build better projects faster, with fewer cost and schedule overruns.

McGraw-Hill Construction understands that each individual is engaged on a certain level of the BIM and IPD adoption curve. To better suit your needs, we will be hosting a series of local BIM and IPD events focusing on certain levels of experience and a National BIM and IPD conference.  

LEVEL 1 – Introduction to BIM
	Level one conferences will share McGraw-Hill Construction research about the BIM phenomenon. Attendees will also hear from a panel of experts at local companies that are actively using BIM on projects, and achieving tangible benefits.
LEVEL 2 – Collaborative BIM
	Level two conferences will detail the emerging process of Integrated Project Delivery. IPD helps teams get more out of the use of BIM by collaborating earlier in the design process and integrating information; reducing risk and achieving better project outcomes.
LEVEL 3 – Extreme BIM
	Level three conferences will provide examples of projects and teams that are pushing the envelope and achieving outstanding results on projects, by leveraging advanced modeling, analysis, simulation, and fabrication technologies, as well as innovative collaborative processes.
LEVEL 4 – The Business of BIM and IPD
	Level four conferences will provide an in-depth look at McGraw-Hill Construction research on the specific business aspects of BIM and IPD, with a focus on tangible, measurable and repeatable benefits, emerging contracting strategies, and examples of companies and projects that demonstrate the value of these approaches.
