Design-Build Conference (DBIA) October 6-8, 2014

With design-build project delivery representing nearly 40 percent of total market share in the United States, there has never been a better time to attend the Design-Build Conference & Expo. Owners across the country and in all sectors are increasingly choosing design-build. In fact, for the first time since 2005, more than 50 percent of projects above $10 million are being completed through design-build project delivery. DBIA is working hard to enhance the understanding of Design-Build Done Right for our members and to help all reap the full benefits of this delivery method when executed correctly. Join DBIA this year in Dallas, Texas along with nearly 2,000 industry professionals spanning the entire A/E/C community, including owners both new to and experienced in the design-build delivery method.

BIM FORUM 2014 - Optimizing Construction with BIM

At the April BIMForum conference, we discussed how implementation of building information modeling processes is optimizing project design. Now, at the October BIMForum conference in Dallas, we turn to optimizing construction. Come hear and interact with intelligent, real world examples on how BIM is being used proactively, to have a measurable impact on the construction process.

Presentations Will Include:

Designing for Construction Optimization: How are teams using BIM to consider construction optimization during the design phase? Target Value Design with BIM, Planning for Prefabrication, or Using BIM for Design Assist. On the Job Site: Can BIM optimize jobsite activities, including safety, quality control, or logistics?

Track presentations will also focus on general, but practical aspects of BIM management:

• BIM Execution Planning
• Using the AIA/AGC LOD Specification
• Collocation Management
• Including BIM in Your Request for Proposal Process
• Hiring the Right BIM Staff
• Legal Considerations & Including BIM in Your Contract
