IMI: BIM Tools for Masonry

11:30 AM
The Builders Association Education and Training Center | 105 West 12th Avenue North Kansas City, MO 64116 Map

The BIM for masonry initiative with the support of IMI and the BAC has developed tools that make working with masonry easier and more productive and cost effective in BIM models. The Goal of BIM for masonry is get quality Masonry Content into the hands of architects, engineers and contractors by way of BIM-M developed plugins and software to increase the level of detail and use of masonry within the BIM software. Some of the tools are developed specifically for REVIT and some can work in other applications. For structural engineers and General Contractors using the bond beam and rebar tools will help design and coordinate the construction of masonry walls making them more efficient, and safer. The benefit to the attendees is that they can understand that with this free resource, they can jump start their masonry library, saving them time and money. These BIM tools enable better use of masonry as a structural system, minimize cuts due to un-modular dimensioning creating a safer and healthier work environment, minimize jobsite waste, and enable accurate coursing virtually that will have beneficial results to owners, occupants and construction persons building our buildings.
