About the seminar

Explore beyond the use of BIM in only permanent design coordination, the seminar aims to introduce use of photogrammetry, LiDAR scanning to consolidate the surrounding environment data with future design elements for analysis, and further develop the methodology to overcome site constraints. Good practices of actual project experience and BIM software application in engineering analysis will be used as showcase sharing.
