Advancements in the Use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) Systems, Part 1b
The Building Information Modeling (BIM) session will demonstrate a general acceptance of this new technology within the architectural/engineering/construction (AEC) industry as the way forward in the full integration of design, construction, and facilities management. Presentations will include examples of successful implementation into real-life projects—to move beyond viewing BIM as a standalone documentation approach. Presentations:
- Leveraging Structural BIMs to Increase Efficiency by Mike Buckley, Practice Leader for Structures, Halsall Associates, Toronto, ON, Canada
- Transitioning to BIM for Structural Design by Vincent Cadoret, Senior Applications Expert, IMAGINiT, Mississauga, ON, Canada
