Description
Electrical subs can now enter the realm of Building Information Modeling (BIM) with tools available in Revit software as part of Building Design Suite or the Autodesk collection. We will use the Texas Children's Hospital project as the backdrop of this interactive course aimed at getting electrical subs up to speed with BIM tools, and attendees will realize the benefits of using BIM on this 500,000 square-foot project. Find out what it takes to get a project of this size coordinated with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing in the narrowest of plenum spaces. This session features Revit and Fabrication CADmep.
