The concept of paralleling construction activities is not a new idea, but the actual execution is usually less successful than the concepts lead you to believe. GE Johnson has developed an extremely successful method of utilizing BIM for exterior panelization; automating panel design, material ordering and fabrication. This process results in cost saving, time saving, improved quality control and safe working environment.
