Building Information Modeling (BIM) provides owners the information needed to make impactful decisions that improve construction project performance and speed project completion. BIM combines the latest in design and collaboration technologies to provide owners with real-time information on all elements of a project, through all the phases of construction.

The joint Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) and Construction Owners Association of America (COAA) webinar - BIM 101 for Owners - will provide owners a condensed 90-minute version of AGC's BIM 101: An Introduction to Building Information Modeling course, part of AGC's BIM Education Program.

Explain the benefits of BIM
Compare examples of successful BIM usage
Discuss issues associated with starting BIM
