team just think <strong>of</strong> cost as the true only value<br />

measure that they are striving for? What about<br />

design excellence as being one <strong>of</strong> those?<br />

The contracting methodology and evaluation<br />

<strong>of</strong> multiple projects to see what the lessons learned<br />

trends are and how we can set new standards to<br />

enforce excellence in your design practices and<br />

construction practices. Next slide.<br />

The BIM system, it's really cool. Nice<br />

exotic system. We've been using it at my <strong>of</strong>fice for<br />

a couple <strong>of</strong> projects. A little more difficult than<br />

it looks like on the package. You've got to decide<br />

what you're buying in the BIM system. Use a VE team<br />

to bring computer experts from AutoCAD, MicroStation<br />

and any consultants into the process and have them<br />

analyze how you can use that system correctly and<br />

effectively.<br />

It is cool. It is the wave <strong>of</strong> the future,<br />

but a tool misused can turn into a disaster. Let<br />

the VE team show you how to get the most value out<br />

<strong>of</strong> that product, out <strong>of</strong> that process, so that you<br />

can succeed when you're using it. Make sure it<br />

serves you, not you serve the product.<br />

Finally, we need to look at, next slide,<br />

how does OBO Incorporated operate in the<br />
