Building Information Modeling: Current Activity and CSI Focus

This month presentation will be presented by Roger J. Grant; Director, Technical Services and Development for The Construction Specification Institute. BIM is a technology that can improve the efficiency of the building process. The building industry is by nature a fragmented enterprise that has the opportunity of creating new ways to collaborate through implementing modeling technology. By “Building It First Digitally” the building team can analyze the design and capture the results for analysis and management of the project. This program will highlight the potential and reality of implementing BIM on projects to develop and manage project information. Current activities of CSI, the BuildingSmart Alliance and other organizations to develop standards, formats and practice guidelines to enable open collaboration and how it affects the role of the specifier will be presented and discussed.
