Episode VI: Bringing Open Data Standards & IFC into the World of e-Bidding

In the latest episode of Let's Be Civil, BIM expert Ron Gant and technology leader Andrew Martin will explore the overall goals of IFC and how implementing these standards in a bidding platform is the best way to connect the owner and contractors. As the civil infrastructure industry adopts a necessary digital transformation, we have to look at each phase of the project lifecycle collectively and connect the disparate systems in order to support full asset lifecycle management. The industry is shifting toward the development and use of open data standards to support interoperability. By adopting Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) into online bidding software, organizations can begin building the foundation for asset management.
