Implementation: Refresh

This session is based on our experience at KPF of pushing BIM implementation on the next level. Steady progress was re-invigorated by increasing client demands and industry expectations, but to make the most of that we had to take the time to review all of our processes and documentation to ensure that we could both meet expectations and also push our work in new and exciting directions. Some of the areas we will focus on include re-evaluating your BIM Implementation Strategy; how far have you come, how far do you still need to go; is your documentation fit for purpose; what makes an effective BEP template; how to approach BIM with your clients; what to do when there is no EIR, and how to respond to one when there is; boosting your training processes; what we did to evaluate and re-focus our training efforts; considering the skills required of your firm's employees, do you have an adequate support system in place; adding extra deliverables to your process; responding to the rise in demand for IFC and COBie; how to effectively introduce new tools (e.g., Dynamo/Enscape) to your workflows; are your QA/QC processes up to the job of evaluating increasingly complex models and datasets, or do you still use 'red pen' markups.
