AU Explainers – Managing Uncertainty with Kate Morrical

Capitalizing on Building Information Modeling (BIM) for new buildings is easy–you get to start with a fresh, clean file, and you can lay out everything you need precisely where it is supposed to be. But what if you are doing an addition, a renovation, or historic preservation? Most of what is important to a structural engineer is probably hidden behind an existing facade or finish. And yet the model must go on. From kickoff meetings through existing documentation to the actual design process, hear what works (and what doesn’t!) and get practical advice to apply to your next project.
