Guillermo Ramos, Director of CIP at UT Southwestern Medical Center, and Sam Neider, Director of Operations at Proactive Controls Group, describe how a proactive management approach using a well-defined, owner-led BIM process has reduced Owner risk on an $800 million fast-track hospital project.  This webinar highlights the BIM strategy developed by UTSW to address typical design and construction problems (standard of care challenges, design changes, excessive RFIs and change orders) and to avoid costly overruns and schedule delays.  During the webinar, the presenters discussed the 6-phase BIM approach they implemented at UTSW:

1. Defining BIM-related goals for the project
2. RFP/RFQ for selection of team members
3. BIM planning and setup
4. BIM implementation in design
5. BIM implementation in construction
6. BIM record model deliverable for future Owner use

The session offers BIM insights from an Owner’s point of view, and provides practical, real-world experiences and lessons learned to help you avoid pitfalls that can lead to:

1. Not getting a get a coordinated design
2. Not getting a model you can use for future facility management
3. Not taking advantage of potential cost savings from MEP engineer and MEP contractor overlap

You will walk away with an understanding of what it takes to define and manage the BIM process to achieve maximum value.
