Webinar Overviews

The Role of Building Information Modeling in Construction Project Management

The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has grown exponentially in the last ten years. This revolutionary technology-based approach is changing the way construction project management operates, improving every step of the process. This webinar explores the role that BIM plays in streamlining building projects and improving communication across stakeholders in the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings.

Private and Public Partnerships Move Mainstream

All across the country, infrastructure projects are in need of repair, and creative organizational solutions are in-demand. Public-Private Partnerships are long-term contracts between a private party and a government entity allowing for an alternative approach to federal, state and municipal construction projects. The private party bears a large share of risk and management responsibility, and remuneration is linked directly to performance. This webinar discusses the nature of this collaboration across sectors.
