How do smaller businesses that play a “subconsultant” role get involved in the BIM process on your projects, particularly if they don’t utilize the software and do not have the resources to invest in it.
Nicole Johnson, McKissack & McKissack
Answer:
Mark Mergenschroer, BIM Development Coordinator, TME, Inc.: It depends on the level you want to take BIM or the level that it needs to be taken. For subs, a lot of their fabrication software can produce a 3D model with properties attached. These models will integrate into a Navisworks® BIM model.
