ASM recently hosted a program on BIM in 2013 featuring leading local experts in a panel discussion on the growing use of building information modeling, both locally and nationally, and lessons learned from actual projects. The program was attended by members from many different trades, who learned how BIM collaboration can benefit their business as well as the project. Heard first at the event was the news that the state's major construction agencies - including the Division of Capital Asset Management and Massport - will be collaborating to put together a master set of BIM Guidelines to apply to state projects.
