There is a widely shared perception that small firms and sole practitioners cannot take advantage of Building Information Modeling due to such factors as its cost, complexity, training time, and productivity for small projects. These case studies, presented by architects who work in small firms or as sole practitioners, will demonstrate how BIM has enhanced their practices and enabled them to create excellent projects.

This webinar is a presentation by the AIA Technology in Architectural Practice Knowledge Community and co-sponsored by its fellow KCs: Custom Residential Architects Network, Small Project Practitioners, Interior Architecture, and the Small Firm Roundtable.

Learning Objectives

  1. Learn how small practices are making innovative and productive use of BIM.
  2. Learn how such practices are using BIM to offer integrated design and construction services to their clients.
  3. Compare how various BIM platforms perform in a small practice environment, including Revit, ArchiCAD and Vectorworks.
  4. Learn how your practice can implement BIM in a way that meets your specific needs and helps you achieve your goals.
