The Easy Button Myth:
BIM and the Human Element
In the AEC industry, it is important not to popularize the idea that BIM is an "easy button". This is especially true when helping subcontractors make the transition to BIM for the first time. Rather, we promote the usefulness of the tool by showing how it aids in communication and coordination through visualization. In this presentation, we will primarily discuss workflows with Revit and Navisworks that streamline the coordination process as well as helpful communication strategies we have successfully used with subcontractors on some recent Modulus projects.
