Construction
Purpose
The purpose of the Construction Room is to advance site productivity, lower construction costs, and improve construction safety through the use of BIM and the application of open data standards.
Steering Committee
The steering committee is led by representatives of one of buildingSMART’s strategic members. The steering committee facilitates the development of the work plan for the room and engagement of the construction industry. It also leads the room sessions at buildingSMART Summits, interacting with the Standards Committee and ensuring the buildingSMART Process is followed.
