Description:
At this month’s Houston Area Revit Users Group, Chris France from Advance 2000 (aka: A2K) will be presenting the latest technologies and strategies to improve the design and construction process. In this session, we’ll look at the challenges faced by modern design and construction teams, the foundational technologies of a “BIM Cloud”, and how these technologies are being applied in various scenarios. Mini-case studies of firms such as SAIC and HDR will also be shared to see how they implemented a BIM cloud strategy. Then we’ll wrap up with a quick look at the future and what’s next — Lean Construction.

Experience Level: All

Key Topics: Revit; AEC; BIM; Cloud
