BIM Technology presents a solid process for selecting BIM tools. The course explores the major applications and classes of tools across project phases, how BIM processes for QTO, shop drawing and fabrication, and construction scheduling can improve projects, and the significant impact models have for improving estimating, scheduling, and coordinating. The goal of the BIM Technology course is to help participants become BIM champions within their organizations. This Instructor's Guide assists the course facilitator in delivering the training.

Lean Construction is driven to minimize costs and maximize value on each project completed, challenging all stakeholders to develop and apply better ways to manage the overall construction process. Everyone related to the construction process has incentive to get the project done faster and at a lower cost — from the project owners who want to see tangible results for their investment to designers and contractors who want to do their job well and move on to the next project.
