Buric Experts Present at Inaugural Construction CPM Conference
Discussion examines how CPM scheduling plus Building Information Modeling reduces claims.
Cleveland, OH, January 05, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Two experts from Buric will be featured presenters at the upcoming national Construction CPM Conference.
Brian J. Stewart, Buric’s director of scheduling and surety services, and Mark M. Seifried, P.E., Buric’s lead Building Information Modeling (BIM) expert, will discuss how incorporating Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling with BIM can result in transparency and data-sharing capabilities that better manage construction projects.
An evolution of computer-assisted design, BIM allows architects and engineers to virtually model projects in great detail, resulting in a true digital representation of a structure’s physical and functional characteristics. Buric specializes in leveraging BIM data with time-scaled CPM schedule activities to successfully forecast and monitor construction progress.
“Within construction, there is a misconception that if parties share too much information, they expose themselves to lawsuits later, whereas Buric has always maintained that sharing information actually helps prevent lawsuits,” Stewart said. “As BIM gains momentum in construction, combining data with detailed CPM schedules creates an opportunity to exercise effective project management in a transparent, collaborative and committed environment – increasing the odds for success and minimizing disputes.”
The inaugural Construction CPM Conference was organized by Dr. Fredric L. Plotnick, a leading authority on CPM scheduling theory and a blogger for Engineering News-Record magazine, after his readers suggested that construction-related scheduling needs were not being addressed at other industry events. The conference will take place in Orlando, Fla., Jan. 12 through 15.
Headquartered near Cleveland in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, Buric is the premier consultant to the world’s diverse construction industry. The firm’s work allows clients to successfully complete jobs while minimizing risks and costs.
