Why BIM Gives Me the Advantage
Why BIM Gives Me the Advantage

Knowledge acquired through the BIM Lifecycle Management program I attended at Algonquin College in Ottawa, Canada’s National Capital Region, has given me an advantage to quickly transition from school to working with a BIM Group at a large scale project.In this presentation, I will share some of my experiences and exemplify the advantage of using the I in BIM to improve your workflows using a problem solving approach. These are some of the skills I judge important to prepare you for the future of the AEC Industry.
