BIMStorm™ Connects the World

In a world where we must make decisions that impact our environment, the only way to connect the dots is through collaboration. This requires a different way of thinking and process. BIMStorms™ are part of the answer to this challenge. They allow global teams to collaborate in real time. The BIMStorm™ on Sept. 16, 2008 will be part of the Capitals Alliance Conference in Washington DC. Take the first steps toward Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). Join us for the following BIMStorms™ that connect Washington DC, and connect the world.
