On September 22, 2009, the AIA Houston BIM Association hosted their Fall seminar titled Building Information Modeling: Content, Collaboration and Construction. Presented by Jeff Chittenden, AIA (WHR Architects) and Jim Jacobi, P.E. (Walter P. Moore), this seminar was a discussion on model content, (where to find it, how to make it, and what should it be), collaboration, (how to collaborate with consultants, owners and contractors), and construction (how does the contractor use BIM and what do they expect).
