The Business of BIM:
Building Information Modeling & Integrated Project Delivery: An Advantage to Your Business in a Challenging Economy
Why are we doing this event?
We are entering an unprecedented, transformative era in our industry. As we face uncertain economic times, your career and the prosperity of your company depend on becoming familiar with the tools, processes and value propositions of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD).
BIM has arrived, and your business will be affected.
Owners, architects, engineers, contractors, fabricators and suppliers are adopting and implementing BIM at a rapid pace. Those firms are also working together more effectively with IPD processes that leverage the power of BIM to facilitate collaborative decision-making; producing integrated design solutions that are optimized for quality, aesthetics, constructability, affordability and seamless flow into lifecycle management.
As recognition of the benefits of BIM and IPD grows, the ability of design and construction companies to work effectively in this new environment will increasingly become a competitive differentiator in winning work. In challenging economic times this kind of edge is critically important to survival. Also, owners that can more accurately control costs, quality and schedule through implementation of BIM and IPD will more effectively utilize their capital resources.
BIM and IPD will forever change the way projects are designed, built and operated for everyone.
At this conference you will learn how BIM and IPD are generating value for owners, design professionals and contractors on a wide variety of project types and activities. McGraw-Hill Construction will release a new SmartMarket Report on the nationwide adoption of BIM identifying where practitioners are experiencing the greatest business value, and the author will present highlights of the report.
