Building Information Modelling, or BIM as it’s commonly known, is one of the most talked about and evolutionary changes to project delivery and asset information management within the built environment in the last decade or more.
Infrastructure owners globally are mandating its use on capital projects and demanding more sophisticated levels of data to better inform their Asset Information Management Systems. BIM can do this.
For the majority of civil infrastructure asset owners however, BIM is still somewhat of an enigma.
- What is BIM?
- What can BIM do for me?
- How is BIM best administered both in my organisation and by the relevant professional services firms and contractors on my projects?
MWH are hosting a series of BIM masterclasses to build your knowledge and skills and provide you with specialist insights that will enable you to lead the introduction of this innovation within your organisation.
Facilitating the masterclasses will be leading expert in this field, Suibhne (Siv) Cullen, Asia Pacific BIM Leader for MWH Global.
