Estimating off the Model

BIM.

Who is using it? How are they using? What are the roadblocks to using it? What does the future of BIM look like?

At last year's Precon World, Brent Pilgrim, National Director of Preconstruction at the Beck Group, asked who was using model-based estimating regularly—83% replied, ‘no.'

In this episode, John and Jared talk about how preconstruction departments have become experts as using BIM as a selling tool; however, there is so much more to 3D modeling.

Listen in and get John's opinion on where BIM is headed, and you will also get tips on where to find how to use BIM.
