ModernTech AEC Hosts Design in ’09 BIM Seminars

Knoxville, TN (May 14, 2009) – ModernTech AEC Solutions will host two seminars titled, “Design in ’09 – Federal Infrastructure Spending Builds BIM Opportunities.” The free seminars will take place in Atlanta, GA on June 2nd and in Jacksonville, FL on June 4th. Both events will run a half day from 9am to 1pm.

Duane Barrett and Joel Rosenbaum from Bentley Systems will present a review of ’09 Federal spending and the importance of implementing Building Information Modeling to secure government work. In addition, we will review how to locate these projects as the RFP’s are issued. Topics will include planned and government spending projected to enter BIM design and/or construction phases in ’09 and beyond as well as the benefits of Bentley BIM V8i and Hevacomp V8i.
