Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a powerful design and construction tool that has the potential to transform our industry. At the same time, BIM can significantly blur the line between design and construction, a condition that occurs all too frequently. This presentation looks at some of the common pitfalls in Design-Bid-Build contracts that create design ambiguity, and strategies contractors can employ to avoid inadvertent design liability that generates BIM cost overruns.
Professor Wentz graduated from the University of Nebraska with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a Master’s in Business Administration.

He is a registered professional engineer in Nebraska and holds both Master Heating Contractor and Master Plumbing Contractor licenses, is a LEED® - Accredited Professional (AP-BD&C)) and holds an ASHRAE certification as a High-performance Building Design Professional (HBDP).
