Course Outline
Presented by Deke Smith, National Institute of Building Sciences and John Moebes, Crate&Barrel
To help you understand the role BIM can play in your company’s future, we have teamed up with Deke Smith, National Institute of Building Sciences and John Moebes, Crate&Barrel to give you a close look at the many powerful drivers that are prompting owners to increasingly require BIM.
This 90-minute interactive teleconference will provide a basic understanding of what BIM is and how you can expect to benefit. It will also provide a basic understanding of the role of standards and the international effort that is underway to transform the construction industry worldwide. It will provide resources to prepare you for doing business in a significantly changed future. John Moebes will outline the initiatives that Crate&Barrel has instituted to improve project delivery through the use of BIM. He will focus on three sectors: the Design Consultants, the Contractors, and the Owners and how they can make important changes that can improve project delivery.
Join us to find out:
- The most common benefits of BIM: improved code compliance checking, better life safety and energy efficiency design, reduced approval cycles, increased pre-fabrication, less crowded and safer work-sites, reduced waste and reduced change orders
- Recent progress in standards and cooperation to facilitate increased BIM usage
- How BIM changes the workflow and management processes
- Benefits to owners: an improved product and enhanced facilities management
- AND MUCH, MUCH MORE!
In addition, a ten-to-fifteen minute period has been reserved at the end of the panelist presentation for an interactive question-and-answer session so you can discuss specific issues or gain additional knowledge about topics discussed.
