WHO:  GRAPHISOFT, the leading Building Information Modeling (BIM) software vendor

WHAT:  Effective leveraging of BIM in management of renovation projects.

This webinar will focus on the Calumet Middle School renovation project and how STR Partners employed an effective BIM strategy in managing, documenting and graphically presenting the updating and expansion of the school with regard to the following challenges:

• 62,000SF – renovation of more than 7,000SF + 55,000SF of new construction
• Existing 100 year old building did not meet ADA or ASHRAE standards
• Work needed to be completed while building was partially occupied and operating.

The architects used BIM to extensively document and graphically present information from within a single building model.

Attend this webinar to learn how ArchiCAD can benefit your next renovation project by:

• Enhancing Collaboration: Bring the project team together with a holistic approach to collaboration.
• Minimizing Logistical Challenges: Easily create phasing models, construction sequencing and flow diagrams.
• Reducing Bid Costs with Interactive Scheduling: Create highly accurate documents and a wealth of information in the early design stages. 
• Eliminating Redundancy in Documentation: ArchiCAD’s Renovation feature only requires a single model file for multiple construction phases.

WHEN:      Thursday, November 13, 2014 1:00-2:00 PM EST
