Building Information Modelling (BIM)

HKIAC is pleased to be a supporting organisation of this event.

Building information modelling (BIM) is permeating the AEC industry at an escalating rate to the point where companies like consultants, contractors and developers alike and even countries are choosing to mandate the platform for large-scale projects.

However, BIM is far from easy to understand as a concept and the process. What is BIM? What can BIM do? How does BIM work?

The object of this CPD Seminar is to clear the air on these misconcepts and answer some of these questions about BIM.
