October 9-10, 2014, network with your peers and hear intelligent, real world examples of how BIM is being used proactively, to have a measurable impact on the construction process.

Presentations will include:

  • Designing for Construction Optimization: How are teams using BIM to consider construction optimization during the design phase? Target Value Design with BIM, Planning for Prefabrication, or Using BIM for Design Assist.
  • On the Job Site: Can BIM optimize jobsite activities, including safety, quality control, or logistics?
  • BIM for Campus Construction: Whether it’s an office park, college campus, or healthcare network, construction is more complex when it is in tight proximity to users. How can BIM optimize and facilitate this interaction?
