• BIM: Orchestrating a Model Masterpiece on Purpose — Emily Vineyard takes you through how masterful works of art aren’t accidental, and they don’t happen overnight. Like any other remarkable creation, crafting model masterpieces takes time, and in the age of facility maintenance models, digital twins, and models that serve as the primary deliverable, our attention to how we model, what we model, and how we coordinate these components needs to be front and center.
