Would YOU Invest Just 7 1/2 Hours to Start
Profiting From Building Information Modeling?
A Five-Session Course That Gets
YOU
Started With This Revolutionary 3D-Modeling Technology
Building Information Technology (BIM) is revolutionizing the way contractors, architects and others do business — slashing project delivery time 25% (and sometimes more), cutting claims and change orders to near zero, saving millions of dollars in incorrectly specified materials and fixtures, slashing legal fees and reducing contractor liability...and putting big smiles on clients' faces.
But only a small fraction of construction and design executives are using BIM today. Most are sitting on the sidelines, scared off by steep learning curves, high software costs and fear of the unknown.
Overcome your fears and start making more money today with BIM and related technologies. It's a lot easier than you think.
This five-session course takes novices and makes them BIM-ready in just 7 1/2 hours. Each session is conducted by experts from industry, government, architecture and construction institutes, consulting and law firms. In just five 90-minute sessions, you'll discover:
- How companies like Crate & Barrel
are speeding project completion by 25% or more, saving multimillions of
construction and design dollars, slashing change orders and claims,
improving code compliance checking, increasing energy efficiency and
reducing waste ...
- How GSA and the Army Corps of Engineers are taking the lead among public agencies to jump-start the BIM process and save taxpayers big bucks...
- Nuts-and-bolts BIM ideas for architects and designers — how to set up virtual walk-throughs, avoid design clashes and conflicts, make more use of prefabricated materials, get quick-and-easy LEED certification — plus pros and cons of BIM tools now on the market...
- BIM triumphs and pitfalls — how three major commercial/government contractors have profited big-time from BIM...and what they'd do differently if they had it to do again...
- BIM and the law — new business relationships, new risks and liabilities, new intellectual-property questions --and much more — from a panel of top lawyers and an insurer serving the construction and design businesses...
Each of the five CD-sets includes powerpoints to follow along and valuable reference materials for your use.
