Closing Plenary Session

Calvin Kam invited all the bloggers to come up and say a few words. I have to say its a lot easier to hide behind the computer and blog. Here were my closing thoughts.

Shame on the AIA?

There are underlying themes in all the sessions to date: get involved-get everyone on the project involved in BIM. I think we all know by now that to push BIM to it’s limits requires the involvement of everyone: owners, project managers, construction managers, engineers, interior designers, etc…
