Course Information
Presenter: Daniel Klancnik, The Walsh Group, Chicago, IL
Dan Klancnik is responsible for implementing and directing The Walsh Group’s firm-wide strategy for building information modeling and virtual construction. His duties include using Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) technology and processes to improve construction by identifying and solving problems, streamlining communication, and reducing waste. He oversees a team that provides 3D communication visualizations, project planning and constructability reviews, 3D project coordination and interference management, visual scheduling, aids costing and estimating, coordinates field layout, and BIM services for facilities management. Dan also trains estimators, superintendents, and project managers on multiple CAD and BIM software platforms.
Mr. Klancnik has 10 years of building industry experience, the past year with The Walsh Group. He is a regular industry speaker on BIM for groups such as Autodesk, Bentley, the AGC, and McGraw Hill. His extensive experience covers multiple project types.
BIM Technology is a one-day course designed specifically for construction professionals who want to establish a solid process for selecting BIM tools and investigate the significant impact models have for improving estimating, scheduling, and coordinating. The goal of the BIM Technology course is to help participants become BIM champions within their organizations.
Become a BIM Champion…
Those who will benefit include contractors, building developers, owners, managers, supervisors, architects, engineers, and construction product manufacturers. Students in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry will also greatly benefit from this training
Participants will benefit in the following ways:
- Find out who the major market players are.
- Determine the best products to support particular project phases.
- Explore how BIM processes for QTO, shop drawing and fabrication, and construction scheduling can help bring
- projects in on time and on budget.
- Track how models are maintained, the implications of team member roles, file format requirements,
- Interoperability, and technology limitations.
- Determine how visualizing construction sequencing of a project at any time can improve efficiency.
- Gain an understanding of the power of digital visualization for effectively coordinating onsite activities.
