Cut Construction Costs and Shave Schedules with BIM Coordination
Thursday, January 14, 2010, 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time
With all of the cost-cutting and optimizing going on in today's economy, you can't overlook the fact that the outdated process we have used for decades to design, estimate, and construct buildings, is a fundamental cause of the cost and schedule overruns that most projects suffer. Now more than ever, it's time to take a hard look at improving the way we work together.
The new science of BIM has the potential to make your projects run more smoothly and stay on budget, through better coordination between all the parties and stakeholders.
Reduce change orders, foresee problems in your design documents, and get tighter schedules and estimates, all using the power of BIM.
Your peers are already achieving these results — by attending this webcast, you can make sure your projects don't miss out.
Communicate Your Building Vision With Design Visualization
Thursday, December 10, 2009, 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time
Learn how you and your design firms can better communicate vision and plans for your building projects using Autodesk design visualization technology. With the Autodesk Revit Architecture Visualization Suite, you can expressively convey your project ideas and progress to external stakeholders, such as investors, board members, constituents, neighborhood associations, and others with vested interests. In addition, Autodesk design visualization tools offer sophisticated lighting simulation and analysis for more sustainable design for your new construction and renovations.
How Owners Benefit From Early Design Collaboration
Wednesday, November 4, 2009, 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time
Learn how early design collaboration on your projects can result in reduced cost overruns, schedule delays, and change orders. Autodesk Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions such as Revit, ImageModeler, Navisworks, Quantity Takeoff, and Buzzsaw allow your project teams to better communicate and coordinate upfront—from conceptual design to cost estimation and project documentation through project delivery.
The Value of BIM for Conceptual Design
