AGC NE Building Chapter has invited the members of MCA-Omaha to attend their Omaha Regional Meeting on January 20th.  Please contact Michele at 402.592.3330 by January 16th to be added to the list.

Program:

BIM As We Know It Today:  Developing the Process - Creating the Dialogue

Program Description:

The purpose of this program is to help set and manage expectations for development, implementation and measurable benefits of BIM.  A panel of designers and contractors will address the disconnect (challenges) between implementation and execution; discuss the "must do" versus "nice to do" elements of the BIM process; and establish the benefit for all parties - which creates the desire for more cooperation and collaboration between design and construction.

Panel Members:

Dick McMahon (Waldinger Corporation), John Sova (RDG) and Mark Butler (HDR)

Panel Moderator:

Jonathan Widney - CEO of Solibri and co-author/ developer of the BIM curriculum for AGC of America

Topics:

• Why are you adopting BIM on your project?  What is the driving reason?

• What's the hang up to sharing BIM models?

• What we're handed from the designer versus what we can use (or what we think we need).

• What changes need to happen in-house and externally to make for a successful BIM experience.

• Contractural relationships versus execution issues.

•  Owner handover - what do owners want?

•  How can we increase our value of the owners through adoption of BIM?

• How do we educate owners to know what they want and what really matters?

• What do we really know about BIM - especially in our mid-west market?  Does it different by sectors?
