CALGARY, ALTA.—The Canada BIM (Building Information Modeling) Council got down to the “Business of BIM” during its recent Calgary Regional Session and Technology Exhibition.
The event was the third and final regional session of 2015, explains a release, with presentations and the roundtable discussion centred around how the decision to use BIM has become an important ingredient in the success of AECOO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Owner Operator) companies.
"The consensus for Canada’s BIM leaders in attendance aligns with CanBIM’s advocacy efforts: that not using BIM will become a disadvantage and those that implement BIM efficiently and effectively stand to gain in the long term," the release reads.
During the event, there was also a presentation on the CanBIM Certification Program outlining the levels of certification, process, criteria and other details for the program.
After this review, the CanBIM board delivered its third Certification Ceremony to date, handing out CanBIM Certification Certificates to 43 recipients, more than double the amount of certifications in the last two rounds combined.
"Of special note was the significant commitment to CanBIM Certification from Turner Fleischer Architects who delivered over 60 of the 70-plus applications," the release reads. "CanBIM asserted its position that its Certification program is a necessary mechanism to recognize practitioners."
Recently, the CanBIm board also elected its newest board member, Christian Proulx, Aéroport de Québec, project manager.
