1. What is BIM and the Government targets?
2. Why do we need a structured framework?
3. Advantages of BIM in Planning, Design, Construction and Operation stages of a water project.
4. BIM authoring and model aggregation samples of the water industry.
5. Asset management, lifecycle and owneroperation.
6. Next steps in water projects for clients, consultants, contractors and supply chain.
