February Lunch and Learn

Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Thomas Simmons

Wednesday, February 11, 2009

Are you or your firm beginning to explore BIM? Would you like to work smarter rather than harder? If you answered yes to either of these questions, please consider attending this presentation. During this free seminar, you will learn about the benefits of BIM. This seminar will also review the impact of Building Information Modeling technology (BIM) and Virtual Construction, how it is different from traditional 2D CAD and how this technology is being implemented on current projects.

You'll also learn about the distinct advantages offered by the ArchiCAD Virtual Building solution including how to:

• Effectively design and manage projects all while streamlining team collaboration
• Easily and quickly create quality presentations
• Automatically generate project data and coordinate design changes and construction documents as you design
• Share information via ArchiCAD's compatibility with other applications

This presentation will be given by Thomas M. Simmons, President of ARCHVISTA Building Technologies, a company specializing in the BIM consulting and implementation, and former Director of Technology with the award winning firm of EHDD Architects.
