Guardian of the Grimshaw Revit Galaxy

The building information modeling (BIM) world has become increasingly fast-paced and demanding in recent years, with every project requiring more data management and output than ever before. As a result, BIM managers can struggle to effectively implement best practices and standardized workflows across Revit models as deliverables are produced in real time. This challenge often leads to spending considerable time and firm resources manually "cleaning up" after users. Grimshaw's global BIM team—using a proactive BIM management toolkit called Guardian (by iconicBIM)—has successfully prevented issues before they occur, reducing QA/QC time by 70% within a year of deployment. This session will discuss best practices and lessons learned on managing standards, guide you through the tools used to keep processes synchronized, and analyze the ROI achieved over several Grimshaw projects.
