Seeking Members

As the Think Tank initiative evolves it is expected that there will be a need to form new Think Tanks around new subject matter or process-based initiatives. A minimum of three volunteers are required to start up a CanBIM Think Tank with Board approval. If you are a CanBIM Member and you would like to participate, we encourage you to sign up through the website today!

Goals

  • Help owners identify opportunities to generate more value from their projects and during lifecycle management
  • Use metrics to benchmark Owner projects and facility management
  • Help owners analyse the current technology to chose the right tools to reach organizational goals
  • Publish BIM guidelines and essential standards for Owners and Facility Managers
