This session will demonstrate a practical approach of the use of BIM. How it can benefit multiple disciplines and departments within a company, what it can save in time, what it will bring in quality and what is needed to get there. We aim for an inspiring presentation about the possibilities with BIM when you choose an integrated approach. With a focus on the Low-rise market (Mattamy Homes), this session will explore BIM models that are being used for Sales, Marketing, Estimation, Value Engineering, Procurement, Drawings, Collaboration & Coordination and Site Coordination.
I am a business owner of a firm that helps companies implement BIM and am a part time professor teaching BIM at George Brown College. But most of all I am an BIM enthusiast for over 10 years. One of the early adopters of BIM in The Netherlands and now pushing to take BIM in Canada to the next level. For me BIM has always been about collaboration and a combination of tools, people and processes. My previous jobs as BIM manager with various GC's back in The Netherlands were always a combination of implementing software, developing standard processes and approaches and training people in how to use the tools and processes in an effective way.
