A GENERAL CONTRACTOR

AUGI/AEC Edge Spring 2009
A recent phone conversation with our local software reseller started: “Please help! I’ve been selling a lot of Revit and Navisworks licenses to local Contractors because they love what BIM can do. And I’m holding a lot of classes and most of the students are picking up the software well.” And he continued, “But, I keep getting calls a few weeks following the training asking, ‘Now what? Now that my team knows how to use the software, how do we do BIM?’ How’s anyone else doing BIM? ...and I don’t know what to tell them!”
Coincidently, I was contacted by Steve Stafford with AUGI the next day to write an article about how BIM is being utilized by General Contractors and its benefits.

TPM is proud to support the 2009 AIA South Atlantic Regional Conference as the premier sponsor.

The conference will take place September 30 - October 4, 2009 in Greenville, SC.
