 BIM 360 from Design to Handover: The Complete Workflow

Class Synopsis

This comprehensive class will show how BIM 360 software can be used for the whole streamlined workflow, from early
stages of concept and design across multiple consultants, through the construction process and the management of data
and subcontractors, and into handover and maintenance, enabling proactive maintenance on day one. No matter where
your firm sits in the lifecycle of creating a building, you'll find something for you
