buildingSMART USA Webinar Series 2024 A 2,000ft bridge built without drawings: How IFC is paving the way for model-based workflows Wednesday, September 11, 2024 | 1pm Pacific / 4pm Eastern Register: https://buff.ly/4cql2A9 Speaker: Oystein Ulvestad (Arup) For centuries, 2D drawings have been the cornerstone of engineer and architect communication. While reliable, they demand significant manual work and have limitations in the information they can carry. But are there any alternatives? In some markets, infrastructure projects have over the past decade successfully been executed solely based on BIM models, eliminating the need for drawings. The transition has unlocked some important benefits. - Automated Workflows: BIM models streamline repetitive tasks, freeing engineers to focus on creativity and problem-solving. - Enhanced Quality: 3D models provide a more comprehensive view, leading to fewer errors and improved build quality. - Reduced Costs: Studies show drawingless projects can achieve roughly 10% cost savings compared to traditional methods. - OpenBIM: The use of IFC ensures seamless data exchange between different software platforms, enhancing collaboration and reducing the risk of information loss throughout the project lifecycle. This webinar will delve into the world of drawingless design, exploring its potential to disrupt American infrastructure projects. It will showcase real-world examples, highlight the benefits (and challenges) and equip you with some key knowledge for this innovative approach.

We hope this event was a "success" for you 😊 #openBIM #workflows #regionalevent #Trimble #buildingSMARTInternational #buildingSMARTUSA

Currently in the thick of the openBIM workflow: CHECK! After defining requirements with Scott Lecher and creating an IFC model with Richard Brice, we are now learning how to check using the IFC Validation Service!

Evandro Alfieri is kicking off the openBIM® workflows event in Denver with an ice breaker! -- getting to know the audience. Check out where our attendees are coming and tuning in from! #icebreaker #openBIM #workflows #Trimble #buildingSMARTInternational #buildingSMARTUSA
