The Untapped Potential of BIM in the Field
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the importance of establishing a cohesive strategy around Virtual Design + Construction.
- Examine why field use of the BIM model is limited.
- Assess the importance of training and support techniques to ensure BIM is being leveraged in the field.
- Identify the difference between prefabrication (Pre-Fab) and construction manufacturing (Con-Mfg).
- Determine a clear path to connect BIM to Con-Mfg to Field to BIM.
