Instructor: Andrew Bagnall with Paul Hellawell
Class Description: This class will explore some of the challenges and pitfalls that need to be overcome to get the most out of your BIM project delivery method and will explain some of the fallacies surrounding the topic. All too often project teams set out on the road to BIM, but change very little about their project approach other than their software package. This session will demonstrate that achieving a true BIM result involves undertaking a shift in thinking and restructuring of traditional project team roles and responsibilities. Topics covered will include: BIM deliverables and how they can differ; adding value to the design process using BIM; adding value to the construction process using BIM; effective BIM design team structure; and the challenges of adopting BIM in your workplace. If you are involved in any of the facets of building design, construction, or management, this session will appeal to you. Some knowledge of the Autodesk® Revit® suite will be helpful but not essential.
