Seminars & Tradeshows for Architecture

To allow us to share our solutions expertise with a larger audience, Synergis will host and sponsor special events.  Led by our team of certified specialists, these events often include product overviews, feature demonstrations, advantage comparisons, and engaging discussions centered on product usage for everyday applications.  Please check out our current schedule and register for the event(s) that interest you.

BIM A to Z - The Life of a Project

Looking to see how your organization fits into the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process?

Join Synergis Engineering Design Solutions as we explore BIM A to Z – the Life of a Project - from looking at a parcel of land all the way through to a finished building. See how you can use Autodesk BIM solutions to design, analyze, document and deliver designs from the conceptual phase through the construction phase, and beyond. By using coordinated, data-rich information models, all members of a project can contribute to its success through improved accuracy, less waste, and the ability to make informed decisions earlier in the process. 

Through the integrated BIM process, architects, engineers, builders, and owners have the ability to explore a project’s key physical and functional characteristics digitally—before it’s built. This one-day event has information for everyone!

BIM helps architects stay competitive in an increasingly complex business climate by giving them the ability to better predict the outcome of a building before it’s built. It enables the creation of more sustainable, accurate designs with fewer errors and less waste, which can result in higher profits and more satisfied clients. And through the delivery of reliable, coordinated building information, BIM helps architects collaborate with team members more easily.

BIM gives mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering professionals the ability to better predict the outcome of their systems before they are built. By creating and analyzing designs in a model, MEP professionals can deliver sophisticated, sustainable building systems more quickly and economically than ever before. Plus, increased visibility facilitates coordination and collaboration with architects and other engineers to significantly reduce errors and improve the accuracy and reliability of MEP engineering design and documentation.

BIM helps structural engineers stay flexible and competitive by giving them the ability to better predict the outcome of their structures before they are built. With BIM, structural design and documentation can be integrated earlier in the process, so design interferences can be addressed before construction begins. And bidirectional linking to analysis applications from leading industry and regional partners helps reduce coordination errors and improve accuracy. BIM also helps to more efficiently accommodate design changes as they occur, and improves coordination with extended teams.

BIM helps civil engineers predict the outcome of their land development, transportation, and environmental projects before they are built. By creating coordinated, reliable design information, civil engineers are able to respond to changes faster; optimize designs with analysis, simulation, and visualization; and deliver higher-quality designs and construction documentation. Plus, BIM enables the extended team to extract valuable civil data from an information model, which facilitates earlier decision making, more sustainable designs, and faster, more economic project delivery.

BIM helps contractors see benefits such as improved clash detection that can directly reduce costs and delays. During construction sequencing and site planning, contractors are gaining powerful efficiencies by using simulation to optimize logistics, phasing, equipment locations and materials handling. Additionally, better communication because of 3D visualization, adjusting personnel to changing schedules due to site conditions, and saving time and money in fewer requests for information are some of the advantage BIM has to offer.

Fire Protection Networking Event

Attend an event in your community sponsored by Delaware Valley Fire Protection Coalition

The building industry is moving in a direction to have more information available to the owner. It all starts with the drawing and continues through to the building owner. Learn how this affects designers, first responders, code officials and facility maintenance personnel. You may not be involved in it now, but just like electronic drawings, it is coming and the event is to make everyone aware and responsibilities in this part of the project.

The speakers will be Stephen Thomson, keynote speaker, Mary Ann Tierney, Robert Drennen, Greg Jakubowski and Bill Knittle, Synergis Building Solution Engineer.

Topic: Building Information Modeling (BIM)

When: Tuesday, April 13, 2010

Where: Montgomery County Fire Academy
1175 Conshohocken Road
Conshohocken, PA 19428
