Contractors Build Up BIM In-House

Dan Bayer is excited about what the future holds for BIM (building information modeling). As the director of virtual construction for Miron Construction, www.miron-construction.com, Neenah, Wis., Bayer has long been an advocate for using virtual processes and technologies in construction. But it's how the industry has refocused itself around BIM that has Bayer truly excited these days.
