• What BIM is, and how it affects current industry work processes.
• The main drivers and benefits of BIM for the various project stakeholders.
• Examining international trends in BIM, and activities in the Irish industry.
• Reviewing skills and competencies required for companies to be competitive in a global market.
• Practical advice on how to implement and engage in BIM.
• Understanding current and emerging standards and protocols.
• Overview of IFC and COBie – Construction Operations Building Information Exchange
• Overview of Soft Landings Initiative
• Demonstration of various BIM tools for Modelling, Review & Coordination.
• Questions and discussion.
