CSI Webinar: Sharing Information Electronically during Construction Administration April 17, 2-3:30pm ET The volume of documentation created during the Construction Administration phase of a project can be overwhelming.

To assist with the management of information, some firms use Web-based services, or in-house Project Information Management (PIM) software. This webinar will review some of the functions to consider when evaluating Web-based and in-house PIM systems. Hardware requirements and software performance will be reviewed and compared to Web subscription services. Site Administration for security of site information along with managing site access by internal and external team members will be reviewed.

Session participants will learn the systems that should be part of a smart building, and the design, specification and installation issues related to the infrastructure of a smart building. Beyond the technical aspects of smart buildings, participants will learn how to cost justify the smart building approach to the client, and how to get the design team on board for doing something slightly different. A case study will be used to illustrate how the team, the client and the technology come together to design and specify a smart building. Click here to learn more or register now for this webinar.
