New Training Shows How to Enhance Workflows with GIS and BIM Capabilities
REDLANDS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Recently, there has been strong demand for investment in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) projects with increased sustainability at the national, regional, and local levels. To help professionals working in these industries achieve their goals, Esri, the world leader in location intelligence technology, is offering a free four-week online course on integrated GIS, CAD, and building information modeling (BIM) workflows.
“The cost of making design changes after materials have been ordered or construction has started is significant.”
“Understanding the geographic context of a project allows architects and planners to optimize the design based on site topography and nearby natural and built features,” said Rafael Lucero, practice lead for AEC and indoor GIS at Esri. “The cost of making design changes after materials have been ordered or construction has started is significant.”
