Integrating Sustainability into the BIM Process
Mar 25 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am
Integrating Sustainability into the BIM Process @ Online Course

In this session we will discuss energy analysis tools, how to setup a BIM model for LEED requirements and modeling methods that will allow a BIM model to work efficiently with these analysis tools as well as avoid common problems.

Part of a 6-Part Course on Implementing BIM into Architecture.

BIM adoption is more about process change than technology adoption. So for many, the question is not when to adopt but how – how to get started, how to leverage BIM to its full extent, how to implement BIM in different project environments, and how to set up the necessary processes and protocols to maximize the benefits. The answers to these questions and more are covered in the Implementing BIM into Architecture series.

2D to 3D Without BIM
Mar 30 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Many architects still use 2D software in spite of the fact that 3D is increasingly implemented in design and construction. 3D often connotes BIM or Building Information Modeling, which can feel big and cumbersome.

– But it doesn’t have to be!

ArchiCAD’s all-in-one solution offers flexible 2D/3D tools not only for BIM modeling but also for non-BIM tasks such as:

  • Modeling with “Sketch-Up” style tools
  • Producing sketch and photo renderings
  • Developing presentations
  • Detailing production drawings
  • Generating building schedules
  • Improving drawing coordination
  • Accessing projects on mobile devices
  • and much more…
We will discuss how clients use ArchiCAD in a hybrid-BIM workflow that allows them to be more productive including…

Principal’s View: Adopting New Software Boosts the Productivity of Design + Build
Jan 25 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

In this candid panel discussion, one architectural principal shares what helped her make the switch from a CAD platform to BIM; and the extraordinary impact it had on her business.

For Lindsay Cullum-Colwell AIA, principal of luxury custom residential firm Cullum Homes, the switch to ARCHICAD has improved her team’s efficiency and provided a flexible workflow in which her designers can explore creatively. Cullum-Colwell has found numerous benefits since making that switch in 2016, and she will be sharing them (along with the challenges) in this candid discussion.

As a long-term user of ARCHICAD, Jared Banks, AIA, will also share his experiences in using ARCHICAD and discuss the process of adopting a new software, along with the features that support a design/build firm.

Jared and Lindsay will:

  • Describe the process of adopting ARCHICAD
  • Explain how the flexibility of ARCHICAD helps architects explore creatively on new designs
  • Talk about features of ARCHICAD that serve the design build process
  • Discuss strategies for making the software work best for custom residential
