Description
Technology for preconstruction has come a long way in recent years. The introduction of building information modeling (BIM), cloud-based takeoff tools, AI (artificial intelligence), and bidding platforms has shaken up the way estimating and preconstruction management operates. The phase of construction has finally exploded with new ideas around cost modeling, historic cost analysis, new methods of collaboration, and the convergence of 2D and 3D quantification. As you mix in the ideologies around the common data environment (CDE), all these improvements in cost planning are also able to inform decisions downstream in the field and upstream to the owner and client. This session will entail an open panel and discussion featuring estimators from DPR Construction, Windover Construction, and Arcadis. They’ll share their experiences with the new age of estimating, and reveal how those benefits help drive their project efficiency. We’ll discuss common industry challenges, expanding on these new ways of working, and highlighting all the technologies that make it happen. Join us!
