Title: Rethinking Your Firm into Revit®: The Transition to BIM Takes More than Software

Instructor: Jon Anunson

Course Description: BIM as a technology and process is radically different from traditional design practice. Are you going to try to press your traditional practice into the BIM mold? If we're going to reorganize design to utilize BIM, then let's rethink the way we approach and manage design. When does engineering work start on a facility? Why do your staff sit where they do? How do you evaluate computer hardware purchases? What has worked and not worked in your practice to leverage the tools that BIM provides in order to produce better and/or more profitable projects? How do you train your users? How do you measure their abilities? Do you continue to use drawings? How and Why? What radical change can you imagine to the design process that will make use of the technology and tools now available to us as designers? Speak out and learn from others!
