Part 10 of Newforma’s webinar series on how project information management (PIM) software contributes to a more integrated practice

Integrated project delivery involves construction team members earlier and in more phases of the project. As a result, IPD increases the volume of construction-related project information, from emails to design review to markups. How can you manage all of that additional information in a way that’s easy to meet deadlines, capture decisions, share with the team and revisit to determine design intent?
Join us to explore the ways project information management software supports integrated project delivery by streamlining the ways construction firms manage project information.

 
• Explore the challenge of managing more communication and the open sharing of information required for integrated project delivery.
 
• Understand how pro-active project information management streamlines everything from managing your email inbox to tracking transmittals to logging issues for resolution.
 
• Discover how a heightened ability to search and find project information improves responsiveness and mitigates risk.
 
• See how project information management technology slashes the time required to log activities, track action items, compare drawings, mark up changes and more.

About our webinar series, "Project information management (PIM) for integrated project delivery (IPD)"

BIM technology is a well-acknowledged pillar of integrated practice for coordinating and documenting the building design. But what about all the unstructured project communications and adjunct decision-making processes that surround the model as it evolves over the duration of the project?

PIM technology is the complementary solution to BIM. It manages the information and communications around the model. It supports collaboration, accountability and trust - both inside the firm and between external team members.
