TOPIC OF PRESENTATION

Don't let your BIM go "BOOM"! Dealing with the potential liability issues of BIM.

BIM has become a growing industry practice over the past 10 years. However, inconsistencies in approach, application and intended use has made the realization of the theoretical benefits of BIM uneven. The lure of BIM is the allure of fewer field conflicts, fewer RFIs, a clearer understanding of what is being built and no change orders. But if all parties aren’t on the same page, there can be some serious project mishaps that can make your BIM plans go BOOM! This program looks at some of the areas where a failure to communicate can clobber you.
