Course Descriptions

Building Information Modeling (BIM), one of the most exciting developments in the construction industry, is changing the way projects are built. This emerging process requires new mind sets, technologies, and practices to move the industry forward.

Join AGC of America for the special pilot of the next two courses of AGC’s BIM Education Program—Unit 3: Contract Negotiation and Risk Allocation and Unit 4: Process, Adoption, and Integration. The first two courses in AGC’S BIM Education Program, BIM 101 and BIM Technology, provide participants with a strong background in BIM concepts and tools.

BIM: Contract Negotiation and Risk Allocation - September 9, 2010

Unit 3 provides an in–depth look for both lawyers and those with no legal background at the ways the use of BIM processes and technologies can impact a project.

Following successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain key BIM terms, roles, and related legal concepts
• Compare contract liability and standard of care for BIM and non–BIM projects
• Evaluate elements of a BIM Execution Plan and its negotiation
• Identify intellectual property rights and legal issues related to model usage
• Recognize limitation of existing insurance products and compare to BIM liability insurance
• Devise fair risk allocation and management on BIM projects
• Use BIM contract negotiation to establish pro–active collaborative BIM

BIM: Process, Adoption, and Integration - September 10, 2010

Unit 4 provides a practical look at the steps necessary to implement BIM process and technologies on projects and within construction firms. Participants will be introduced to different theories and concepts firms have used in the past to adopt and implement BIM.

Following successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Evaluate and select process options for a specific BIM project
• Describe the roles and responsibilities of participants in the BIM process
• Create a BIM process diagram for a project
• Identify consistent factors influencing BIM project ROI
• Communicate the BIM process to management, colleagues and project stake holders
• Outline a process for BIM adoption on the project level
• Identify factors influencing BIM ROI on a company level
• Outline a process for BIM adoption on the company level
