An architect, an engineer and a building product manufacturer offer insight into their experiences with integrating BIM On Sept. 23, 2009, Reed Construction Data will present “Lessons in BIM Adoption: The Viewpoint of an Architect, an Engineer and a Building Product Manufacturer,” a complimentary webcast offering an in-depth look at the challenges and opportunities of implementing building information modeling (BIM).  The webcast will feature speakers Dennis Neeley, AIA, BIM Product Manager, Reed Construction Data, Mark Mergenschroer, BIM Development Coordinator, TME, Inc., and Cindy Bremer, Director of Marketing, Kolbe & Kolbe Millwork. The event will be led by Rex Miller, author of “The Commercial Real Estate Revolution” and “The Millennium Matrix,” and an active participant in the leadership, innovation and technology of the real estate and construction industry. Speakers will offer candid insight into their successes and challenges with implementing BIM, and explore the issues that are restricting widespread adoption. “Despite the hurdles that remain for some organizations implementing BIM, the industry needs to embrace this technology at a much faster rate to recognize its full potential,” said Neeley.  “One of the best ways to accomplish this is to learn from the mistakes and successes that others have experienced and through this webcast, we hope to provide multiple perspectives and insight into those cases.” The webcast will be broadcast live starting at 2 p.m. (EDT).  It is complimentary for all participants; pre-registration is required. Questions from the Internet audience will be accepted during the live webcast, which will also be archived for later viewing.  AIA member architects are eligible to receive 1 AIA CEU credit for attending this webcast.
