The Building Information Modeling for Masonry Initiative (BIM-M) invites consultants (architects, engineers, contractors, BIM specialists etc.) to submit a proposal for either or both Project 1 or Project 2, involving the creation of models and details of masonry buildings using Autodesk REVIT 2014.

BIM-M expects to award either or both Projects 1 and 2 with cost as a major consideration. This modeling project will be included in an overall plan to develop a Masonry Best Practices Guide (Guide) for design professionals.

The Request for Proposal for Revit Modeling of Masonry is available online.
