Presentation will give a practical overview of BIM and its impact on the construction industry. Specific attention will be given to what BIM can and can’t do for the masonry industry. It discusses objects and assemblies within the BIM environment and how modeling of masonry for BIM can be successfully achieved. It includes real world examples of how the use of BIM for masonry projects is already changing the way masonry is designed, ordered, shipped, installed, maintained and bid.
Learning Objectives:
- Review case studies of how design decisions impact masonry construction.
- Identify ways that improper layout and fenestration for masonry increases waste.
- Improve detailing of masonry systems for improved masonry installation and quality.
- Optimize masonry wall design for lower cost and better performance.
- Recognize when and how masonry models can improve masonry construction.
