Atlanta Monthly Program
BIM
FOR THE REST OF US
As BIM evolves beyond
a client communication tool and a method for recognizing
design conflicts the model means much more to other project
team members. Building Information Models become just
that, information; quantity take offs, cost data, cornerstones
of energy efficiency modeling and even backbones for
materials management.
What does the availability of this kind of data throughout
the project lifecycle mean to Specifiers, Building Product
Representatives and Architectural Reps?
Please join us as K.P. Reddy talks about how these advances
will impact the design and build processes and our roles
within the design timeline. He will also introduce us
to iBIM (Integrated Building Information Model), a tool
to extract the type of data that makes the BIM model
a valuable tool for multiple players in the design process,
Product Information Modeling, and the Building Information
LifeCycleTM.
KP Reddy is the President and Chief Executive Officer
of RCMS Group. A nationally recognized expert on construction
technologies, including Building Information Modeling
(BIM), he is a sought-after speaker and industry advisor.

and acted as President and CEO until its acquisition
in 1999. During his tenure at both Cereus and Verso,

software development and data management.
KP is a graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology
with a Bachelors of Science degree in Civil Engineering.
He is an active Alumnus of the Georgia Institute of Technology,
