Putting the "I" in BIM
CSI’s BIM Practice Group focuses on issues related to managing the Information components of BIM that are emerging as BIM continues to grow in acceptance and application. Members share presentations and demonstrations of the innovative ways firms are meeting the Information challenges BIM has created, and discuss the role of members and CSI standards and formats in integrating construction documentation into the BIM world.
