Better BIM for B.C. (Series 1) BIM in Constrcution. April 2024
This presentation will focus on Quantity take-offs using BIM during the construction phase. Including the construction teams requirements from the submitted design models. Also varying approaches to quantity take-offs using BIM Tools and workflows.
In this sponsored BIMbc presentation we will the emphasize the value of BIM in construction using real world examples.
3 different perspectives on 5D in construction:
Xenia Gordenka – VDC Manager at ETRO Construction and Co-Founder of at the BIM Kitchen.
Anneka (Ubhoo) Chand – VDC Project Manager at Canaidan Turner Construction and Co-Founder of the BIM Kitchen
