• Linking BIM to the Field to Facilities Management: A Hospital Case Study with Barton Malow

  

  This on-demand webinar features a case study on how BIM and Field Software (including Tablet PCs) were linked to Facilities Management on the Maryland General Hospital Central Care Expansion project in Baltimore, Maryland. This multi-phase addition and renovation project included over 75,000sf of newly fit-out spaces and over 5,000sf of renovated facilities. Speakers from Barton Malow, Maryland General Hospital, Tekla, Motion Computing and Vela Systems present an overview of the project, describe the connection of BIM to Commissioning to Handover to Facilities Management, present photos of the technology in action and report on the business benefits to the contractor and owner.

• Bringing BIM to the Field with Autodesk and Vela Systems

  

  Attend this webcast to learn how you can bring the power of Autodesk® Building Information Modeling solutions to the job site, in conjunction with Vela Systems construction field software.
  
  Special guest speaker, Josh Kanner of Vela Systems, will discuss how Autodesk and Vela can help automate the execution and oversight of field activities on construction and capital projects.
  
  Instead of carrying a field notebook and paper plans or specs, job site users can work with Autodesk and Vela software on mobile computers to electronically access and update Building Information Models and carry out many other critical field activities. Josh will present specific case studies, including BIM-enabled field processes of commissioning, materials management and quality control.
  
  Bringing BIM to the Field can take your projects' productivity to an entirely new level, helping to differentiate your business during the bidding process and beyond. Attend this webcast to learn more.
