BIM strategy for clients and consultants

Introduction to BIM strategy for clients and consultants

With the Government’s 2016 deadline fast approaching, the thirst for Building Information Modelling (BIM) understanding is exceeded only by the multitude of freely available seminars and web resources that claim to explain the strategic and technical aspects of BIM. However, real, practical advice which helps to build strategy and support implementation is very hard to come by.

Why should you attend?

This BIM strategy training course will:
  • enable you to identify where your organisation is in relation to the BIM journey and what immediate and practical benefits you can gain with the resources you have
  • help you learn how to establish realistic BIM objectives
  • enable you to develop a strategy for full implementation with minimum investment in software and training
  • help to reduce consultants costs, tendering costs and total project costs and will ensure that you avoid wasted effort and frustration.
