Building Information Modeling (BIM) can be a useful tool for infrastructure projects. TRB hosted a webinar on Monday, November 1, 2021 that discussed the potential return on investment (ROI) agencies may see by using BIM. Presenters will identify common use cases of BIM and determine its benefits and costs. They discussed tools agencies can use to adopt BIM, including a new ROI tool to calculate the benefits.
This webinar features research from TRB’s project TFRS-02: Lifecycle BIM for Infrastructure: A Business Case for Project Delivery and Asset Management
