Conferences
BIM Asia 2009
> Registration25th - 26th February 2009 * Furama Riverfront Singapore
Summary
Asia’s Building Information Modeling challenge
The BCA has indicated that that the CORENET e-Submission System will incorporate Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the future. So, the issue is not of whether BIM will be used, but rather;
Q. Are you BIM ready?
Q. How is your firm placed to leverage the opportunities and handle the challenges?
Introducing Asia’s only Building Information Modeling event
For the first and only time in Asia, Public and Private Developers/Building Owners will meet with Business Leaders in Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facilities Management to discuss the business case and strategic challenges, and opportunities from the use of BIM in new projects.
This two day intensive conference brings together case studies and global BIM leaders to discuss how BIM is changing the model of designing and constructing buildings. If you’re an owner/developer or in the AEC industry, you need to be aware of how it will affect your organisation and become BIM competent.
• Understand how BIM is being used to design and construct buildings faster and more cheaply
• Discover why owners and developers are using BIM on small and large projects
• Learn how BIM is revolutionising the AEC and FM industries
• Understand how to make the transition to BIM
About BIM Asia 2009
Supported by the Building & Construction Authority in Singapore, and the BuildingSMART Chapters in Singapore and Korea, BIM Asia brings together Asia’s BIM community to discuss the business benefits for owners and developers, and opportunities for the AEC industry.
Major BIM developers and users from Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, Korea and North America will be at the event to share their knowledge and experience using BIM.
No other event give you access to this much BIM knowledge and experience in one place and in only 2 days
PRICING: Register 3 people and the 4th attends for FREE!!!
