Small firms face a unique set of practice challenges in the current marketplace. Growing adoption of building information modeling (BIM) and an increased emphasis on green design have changed the competitive landscape. Agile, entrepreneurial small practices are discovering how to manage larger projects with fewer staff and offer green design services more affordably. This session traces how three different small firms are gaining a competitive advantage from implementing BIM.
    Learning objectives:

• Identify best practices for implementing BIM in a small firm
• Describe how small firms can use BIM to provide affordable green design services and effectively compete on larger projects
• Develop a plan for implementing BIM in your own practice
