» Setting the stage for a successful handoff

One of the toughest transitions in delivering any construction project is making the handoff from construction to occupancy.

To avoid frustration and make a smooth transition requires active
tracking and management of cost and schedule, formalized pro-
cesses for maintaining and assuring quality, and an organized compilation of
the information that will be required to operate and maintain the facility.

» More about BIM

“BIM on the Cloud” discusses how the introduction of mobile devic-
es into the construction industry is transforming the way projects are
built and managed. Enhanced cloud-based collaboration and mobile
access help ensure the entire project team can participate in the
coordination process, minimizing the coordination cycles and providing teams
with tools to view the designs wherever they are located.
