Landscape architects face pressure on projects to use building information modeling, or BIM, software for their designs. Risks are numerous, but advantages can be significant. Learn how one landscape architect made BIM work for her as a sole proprietor and hear answers to common questions about firing up BIM.

Learning Objectives:

• Explore why the landscape architectural profession must embrace new documentation technology.
• Learn which projects are best suited to adopting design and documentation using BIM; some projects better lend themselves to getting started with BIM.
• Understand the benefits of BIM to your practice: iterative design, integrative collaboration, improved team communication, documentation efficiencies.
• Discover how BIM can bridge generational divides and become a real-time design mentoring tool.
