A Contractor's BIM Blog

Check out a contractor's BIM blog that has some history. Authored by Laura Handler, her posts are written from a contractor's experience and perspective using BIM. I enjoyed her latest 2 posts that outline her experiences importing SketchUp files into Revit.

We continue to see the value of creating early communications with builders at the front of today's BIM project. Previously defined as a downstream user, the role of the contractor now moves upstream as a valuable stakeholder to the design teams. A role that helps define attainable schedules, budgets, and efficient construction methods.

We sponsored an October BIM/Revit AGC-Wisconsin learning event. I reported on my company blog the valuable BIM experiences from one of our guest speakers who works for one of Wisconsin's largest commercial contractors.

In July, I created a whitepaper for the AGC-Wisconsin's Constructor Magazine. It documents the tangible use of BIM in the Construction Process. It will provide you with insight to specific BIM features that contractors have used on my client projects. This "BIM in the Construction Process" whitepaper and a link to a free BIM whitepaper from AGC-National are posted at the end of my report.
