We all see the cool ESRI 3D buildings and other high end BIM showcases. We are all envious and in awe of those presentations. We all would love to do that and have that data for a variety of reasons. However, the products often seem out of reach and is costly. In this presentation, we are going to focus on Wisconsin Act 109 and what that means in terms of public safety. We will look at how to get started, what is needed to complete a product, time management, and the challenges along the way.
