What is a BIM-R Manager?

What kind of knowledge and abilities should a BIM-R Manager have? In terms, “BIM Manager,” “BIM Coordinator,” and “Information Officer” have crept into our commercial and industrial construction vocabulary in recent years. It is only natural that the trend will migrate into residential construction – single family custom homes, single family production homes, and multi-family buildings.

The need to guide consumers and professionals from traditional to digital means of building delivery will be very much required. For the foreseeable future, the BIM-R Manager will facilitate that transition.

This training program aims to give those currently practicing BIM or aspiring BIM Managers the skills they need to survive and thrive in this challenging role.

BIM-R will become business as usual as designers, engineers, contractors, and others start working in new ways. Meanwhile, essential for all is a need to evangelize the benefits of change, good communication, and continuous learning and development.

This is not a class for those who like the status quo. Effective BIM-R Managers must be prepared to elevate their role and ensure the best decisions are made. The push for change and innovation must be well informed in an industry renowned for tight deadlines and low-profit margins.

Register now and fight against BIM-like outputs not delivered optimally or efficiently. Cut through the noise and distortion, learn a new skillset, drive change and fully reap the rewards of the digital construction revolution.
