Synopsis

BIM, Building Information Modelling, is rapidly changing the face of the engineering and construction industry. Paper drawings are being replaced with 3D computer based models containing all the information required to design, fabricate and construct structures more efficiently and economically than ever before. Naturally this is placing new challenges and demands on industry players including engineers, architects and contractors to adapt to the changing landscape this technology brings.

In this year’s seminar series, we will examine leading BIM technology and how this is being used in industry to improve project delivery. Find out more about BIM and hear from industry experts on how they are taking advantage of BIM technology to transform their businesses. Learn how BIM technology can be effectively used to design multi-material structures, automatically produce and manage high quality drawing and calculation documentation, and share 3D information with Architects, Owners and other project stakeholders. See first-hand how 3D design models can be further refined to produce constructible information including steel and rebar fabrication detailing.
