Join AIA Brooklyn and Graitec at the spectacular Ciot showroom for real-world examples from leading architecture, engineering, and construction firms, highlighting the challenges they faced, the strategies they applied, and the outcomes they achieved.
Charleen Chae, BIM Lead for North America at Grimshaw Architects, will showcase Grimshaw projects and share how her team approaches BIM workflows, Revit model management, documentation challenges, and process improvements across complex design environments.
She will be joined by Glynnis Patterson, Solution Line Vice President for Create – Ideate Software, GRAITEC Group, who will bring additional perspective from working with AECO clients worldwide to solve BIM challenges through smarter workflows, practical tools, and scalable process improvements.
Through these case studies and practical workflow insights, attendees will learn how teams have improved design documentation, increased model accuracy, strengthened quality control, and created more consistent deliverables across projects and offices. The session will also demonstrate how targeted BIM tools and smarter workflows can help reduce repetitive tasks, minimize errors, and support more efficient collaboration between design, BIM, and project teams.
