'BIM in Practice' Seminars

Blog entry: Dominik Holzer

After a successful launch of the 23 'BIM in Practice' documents back in late August, I will now embark on a 15 city tour of Australia to share detailed insights from the work undertaken by the BIM and IPD Steering Group of the Australian Institute of Architects and Consult Australia.
In contrast to the launch, which was set up predominantly as a networking function, this Seminar Series will provide a more in-depth presentation and discussion of  the following three topics:

- Effects of BIM on the legal and procurement aspects of delivering projects
- Proper management of BIM collaboration across disciplines, and
- Involving clients and other stakeholders to communicate benefits and challenges of BIM

During the second part of the seminar, I will be joined by a high profile local engineer and contractor who use BIM to in everyday practice. We will encourage strong participation and comments by the audience.

Those present should be able to walk away with increased knowledge about the following aspects:

• Understand how to deal with issues regarding the Intellectual Property (IP) of their BIM output 
• List the effects of BIM on Professional Indemnity
• Identify stakeholders’ responsibilities on BIM projects
• Generate a BIM Management Plan
• Identify the effects of BIM on various stakeholders in the industry

See below the schedule for the Seminars (we definitively come somewhere near you!)
