The purpose of the Multi-Media Toolkit is to support the publicity and dissemination of the study’s findings. The toolkit’s numerous packages and tools highlight the benefits of BIM as supported by the study. The Multi-Media Toolkit can be found on the National Academies Press website (nap.nationalacademies.org) by searching for CRP Special Release 4: Lifecycle BIM for Infrastructure: A Business Case for Project Delivery and Asset Management.
