Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a tool or the model-based technologies that produce a building information model that enables a highly collaborative Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) process throughout a project’s lifecycle. When combined, project teams can take advantage of a forward-thinking environment where the integration of people, process and technology can thrive. The whole team approach inherent in Design-Build is an ideal environment for BIM/VDC to flourish, especially when you can take advantage of an integrated project team from the outset, creating a platform for success, where all the client’s goals can be embraced early. In addition to highlighting DBIA’s approach to VDC Done Right this session will review some of the current best practices being developed by DBIA such as:
The soon to be released The VDC Project Leader’s Role & Responsibilities on Design-Build Projects document.
The updating of the DBIA BIM Exhibit contract language
Documented BIM Uses
ROI number being realized by Design-Build teams leveraging VDC
New VDC educational offerings
VDC Leadership Exchange
We’ll also hear from a divers group or innovative VDC Leaders from the Salt Lake City area who will provide real-world examples of how VDC is driving value by enabling the merging of technology and project delivery to provide optimized outcomes for Owners during an engaging panel discussion.
Agenda
2:30pm - 4:00pm - Educational Session
4:00pm - 5:00pm - Optional networking hour at a location TBD - light refreshements included
About Our Speaker: Brian Skripac, DBIA, CM-BIM, LEED AP, Director, Virtual Design & Construction, Design-Build Institute of America
Brian, a Bachelor of Science in Architecture graduate from The Ohio State University, is responsible for shaping how VDC brings optimal benefits to design-build’s “whole team” approach to project delivery. As a Digital Construction innovator, Brian has spent the last 20 years of his career defining how people, processes and technology come together to transform collaborative project delivery. In addition, he leads the creation and advancement of best practices related to the integration of BIM-enabled technologies and other innovative digital tools to enhance design-build team performance and while generating significant lifecycle benefits for projects across the built environment. As an industry thought leader, Brian has contributed to national publications and has spoken at conferences around the world. He has also had the opportunity to serve as an advisory group member and past-chair of the AIA National Technology in Architectural Practice Knowledge Community while serving on the BIMForum committee responsible for authoring the Level of Development (LOD) Specification.
