Description
The handoff between project engineers and fabricators is a key juncture in project delivery. Any mistakes at this stage can mean costly rework and project delays, and an inefficient handoff of design data can bloat budgets and unnecessarily extend project schedules—leading to cost over runs, litigation, and unnecessary headaches for owners. The Autodesk-sponsored Engineering Executive Council explains how improvements to the current situation will benefit project owners—improve project quality, reduce costs, speed up timelines—and offer some initial solutions. The Council will present customer stories of “best practices” to owners followed by a discussion on how to put them into practice. An example will be The Engineering Research Center at Brown University which utilized integrated project delivery (IPD) with cloud-based BIM (Building Information Modeling) technologies (BIM 360 Design software and Revit software) which resulted in a 90% cost reduction and 20% time savings. The project was delivered within budget and two months early.
Key Learnings
