BIM Conference further Validates the Concept
The upcoming conference that Jerry Laiserin recently brought to my attention will potentially add more momentum to the BIM movement, and at the very least will provide additional real-world insights from a variety of perspectives for those interested in learning more:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Industry Experts to Explore Building Information Modeling
Atlanta, GA, February 23, 2005 -- As building owners increasingly demand
smarter ways to design, document and deliver their building projects, an
approach called building information modeling (BIM) is poised to "cross the
chasm" from pioneering technology to mainstream adoption. On April 1920,
2005, leading experts, solution providers and users of this technology will
meet at the Global Learning and Conference Center on the campus of Georgia
Tech in Atlanta to explore the challenges and opportunities of BIM, as well
as the processes necessary for successful deployment. Organized and hosted
jointly by the Georgia Tech College of Architecture (COA) Ph.D. Program and
the LaiserinLetterT technology advisory service, this conference includes
real-world case studies and interactive panels, as well as industry
applications and analyses essential to everyone who owns, operates,
constructs or designs buildings.
Links to audience registration and the conference agenda are available on
the web at http://www.laiserin.com/laiserinlive/index.php or by contacting
Mrs. Mercedes Saghini at mercedes.saghini@coa.gatech.edu, phone +1 (404)
894-3476. Sponsorship information, for vendors of qualified technology
solutions, may be obtained by contacting Jerry Laiserin at
gatechbim@laiserin.com, phone +1 (917) 225-7058.
The conference will examine the ways that BIM "offers fundamentally new
opportunities for improving the quality of design, shortening the building
procurement life cycle, and reducing costs," according to Charles Eastman,
director of the COA Ph.D. program and author of the definitive book
Building Product Models. Both public and private building owners are
beginning to recognize these benefits. A key confirmation of this trend is
the US General Services Administration's (GSA) requirement for a BIM
approach at the concept design phase of all projects starting in fiscal
year 2006 (which begins October 2005). Notes Eastman, "the issue no longer
is why or when to adopt BIM, but how to effectively deploy it now."
LaiserinLetterT editor Jerry Laiserin, founding director of the aecXML
project for industry data exchange and widely credited with standardizing
and popularizing the terminology of BIM, observes that "the
multi-dimensional, data-rich models of the BIM approach enable contractors,
engineers, architects and building product manufacturers to work as a
tightly integrated team helping owner-operators build smarter." Case study
and application presentations at the conference illustrating such teamwork
include BIM for Steel Construction, BIM for Precast Concrete Construction,
BIM for Energy Analysis, BIM for Project Delivery and BIM for Industry
Integration, as well as BIM for Owners. Panel presentations include leading
providers of technology solutions in each of these areas.
With the BIM approach finally "ready for prime time," this Georgia
Tech/LaiserinLetterT conference offers important business and professional
knowledge critical to every executive and manager in the building enterprise.
