This session bridges the gap between the technical need and the manufacturers wants. There is no them and us anymore, we breakdown the language barrier between the practical and technical. We appreciate how one member of the team will want to see some technical details, while another will only need to see an overview. We help explain how to make this possible, to please everyone! This session provides a unique opportunity to break down the barriers between BIM content experts and manufacturers, giving you the chance to hear what is really needed from both sides of the industry.

We will discuss methods, tools and benefits for increasing visibility of products for the design teams, owner and facility management teams, that will work for everyone!

Why are visual tools so important? Well, because it’s what our brains like!
