CitA has released details of the Smarter Cooperative Building Series 2017. The location for the Series will be the Royal College of Physicians, No.6 Kildare Street, Dublin 2.

In an interview available in full in the latest issue of Irish building magazine, Dr Alan Hore told us what CitA has planned for 2017. “We will be working more with the regions and getting more SMEs involved on the industry’s BIM Journey. We hope to encourage all of the shortlisted projects at the Irish BIM Innovation Awards to speak during 2017 CitA Smarter Building Series. We intend to build on and deepen the relationship with the CIC constituent groups in 2017 and include them in the design of the 2017 programme. Reaching out to the clients and facility managers will also be important. Building on the idea of the High Speed 2 event (addressing the supply chain) we hope to hear from some signature Irish project teams reiterating the importance of BIM in the delivery of their projects.” He went on to say, “2017 will also see the return of the CitA BIM Gathering in November, which will focus on Building Capability and Knowledge Sharing. We are currently looking at the idea of hosting an IT showcase as part of the 2017 Gathering.”

The dates for the 2017 events are:
15th February, 22nd March, 17th May, 21th June, 13th September, 11th October

BIM Case Study Presentations given during the Series will include:
National Children’s Hospital
Grangegorman Development Agency
1 Windmill Lane

BIM Sub-Committee Updates from each of the Construction Industry Council Professional Institutes;
