Webinar on BIM to Field Software Construction Technology Report

In August, 2016 MCAA released its third installment of the Construction Technology Research Series with a report on BIM to Field Software.  The research, provided by our technology partners at JB Knowledge, evaluated over 24 different types of software that leverage the data from the BIM model and use it in other parts of your operations like the field or in the fabrication shop. On Tuesday, August 23, the lead researcher on the project, Josh Bone, joined Sean McGuire, MCAA’s Director of Construction Technology for a companion webinar that provided more explanation and detail into the project.
