Tuesday 18th September, 1–5pm
Jin Mao Grand Hyatt Lower Level Conference Room, Level 2

This pre-Congress workshop, the inaugural meeting of the Building Information Modeling Working Group, is open for attendance for all registered Congress delegates. Prior registration for the workshop is, however, required.

The Building Information Modeling (BIM) working group is being established to enable a forum about the challenges and opportunities central to Building Information Modeling in the design and construction of tall buildings. Our new information-based systems are providing us with new capabilities for design, production, and construction. Simultaneously, these new approaches are transforming the conventional relationships between architect, engineer, builder, and owner. Through relevant precedents and collegial dialogue, this working group aims to guide the BIM conversation for a rapidly transforming industry.
