Class Description: Building Information Management (BIM) has given Architects, Engineers and Contractors new tools and revised workflow processes that should drive higher profit margins. Some firms are finding these margins and some firms have not. This presentation will explore the issues involved with how adoption of lean processes increase not only profitability, but also increase efficiency, decrease issues, and create a better total “design and building” experience for the client.
The presentation will explore how to translate best success in lean practices (mostly in manufacturing world) to the service oriented world of Architecture and Engineering. These changes in workflow and business practices require a new look at how we do project design and documentation.
