    Description

    Informed Design is changing how we think about construction by connecting design, fabrication, and performance to deliver smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable outcomes. Built on the principles of outcome-based BIM, it shifts the focus from drawings to results, ensuring what is designed can be accurately fabricated and effectively delivered. This class will explore how tools like Revit and Inventor software enable early coordination and support modular construction, with a focus on prefabricated frames. Whether you’re in design, engineering, or delivery, you’ll learn how Informed Design reduces rework, improves buildability, enhances , and sets projects up for success. At A.G. Coombs, we’re preparing to apply this approach within a whole-of-life framework, drawing on our downstream expertise to help close the loop between design and long-term performance. Join us to see how Informed Design can add value to your projects now and into the future.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn about the fundamentals of Informed Design, including what Informed Design is and why it’s key to MEP workflows.
    • Explore the convergence of design, fabrication, and data, including how data and digital workflows unite design and fabrication.
    • Learn how to use data for better decision making and , and see how outcome-based BIM drives smarter, sustainable solutions.
