iParks Webinar: Building Information Modeling: Saving Time and Money on Your Next Project

Now Available ON DEMAND

The cost and schedule savings that can be achieved using Building Information Modeling (BIM) will be outlined using a complex laboratory research project as a case study.  The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems has proven to be an effective way to coordinate building systems, achieve cost certainty, reduce project design and construction time, quickly adapt to design and programming changes, and reduce overall project capital costs.  The team will discuss cutting edge BIM processes and share results from a current Stanford University School of Medicine biomedical research facility.

Participate to learn:

  • The advantages of BIM systems for three-dimensional design and coordination of architectural, structural, and MEP infrastructure systems.
  • The planning, design and coordination processes needed to implement BIM on your next project. 
  • Benefits of the different levels and components of BIM that are available. 
  • How to use BIM to increase construction efficiencies and quality, as well as reduce project schedule durations. 
  • How to define project cost savings vs. up-front costs
  • How to use BIM to engage Operational and Maintenance personnel during design and construction.
