BIM refers to a dynamic, digital, 3D-model of a building or a facility that has additional information associated with the building elements. Virtual Design and Construction is referred to as the process of using BIM in the design, pre-construction, construction or operation process of a facility. <br> <br> Turner was a  first mover many years ago in the application of Building Information Modeling. We have since moved to integrate BIM into our standard business practices and throughout a building s life-cycle. We have experienced BIM management and modeling staff, developed proprietary tools, established standards and QA / QC protocols.<br> <br> Turner has ongoing or completed nearly $20 billion in BIM projects representing work on 100 projects. Turner has grown to be the leading adopter of BIM technology in the construction industry in the U.
