CanBIM in Calgary

BIM Technology and processes have the potential to be much more than a support tool in the process of implementing and executing a successful project. BIM, quite simply, is a business decision, and with proper utilization of BIM technology and processes, your business will benefit from the adoption of BIM.

CanBIM's Calgary Session on September 30 - October 1, 2015 will explore the many ways that your business will benefit from proper implementation of BIM. We will examine through case-study presentations the opportunities that exist to improve your business, the successful examples of how making "BIM your business" has resulted in large gains for those companies who have dedicated resources to a BIM strategy.
