How does project information management support the civil engineer’s role in integrated project delivery?

Getting the lay of the land: civil engineering and PIM

view the recording

Integrated project delivery involves more team members, earlier, in every phase of a project. As a result, it generates more information than ever before. How can you manage that information so that it’s easy to capture, share and revisit information, including decisions and the steps that led to them?
Join us to explore the ways software for project information management supports a more integrated practice by streamlining PIM for civil engineering firms.

 
• Understand the ways IPD generates more civil engineering project information.
 
• Review instances where better project information management improves client service, streamlines operations and mitigates risks.
 
• See instances where improved PIM streamlines everything from email management to transmittals to billing.
 
• Learn how PIM technology can slash the time required to log activities, track action items, compare drawing changes and more.

About our webinar series, "Project information management for integrated project delivery"

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.

"Getting the lay of the land" draws upon Newforma’s experience helping customers manage information and communications for over 150,000 projects. Presented by:
