BIMThoughts

I had the privilege of talking with Kean Walmsley for an episode of BIMThoughts. BIMThoughts is a podcast I co-host about BIM technologies and techniques. Kean is with Autodesk Research and is one of the team members on Project Dasher 360. Even though Dasher 360 is still in its very early stages, I can already see promise and can’t wait to utilize it in our post occupancy reviews.

In this episode, Bill, Kristina and Charlie talk about Kristina’s trip to the BIMForum conference. This year’s conference in San Diego, CA, focused on BIM from the owner’s perspective. In talking about an owner’s BIM needs we explore the idea of adding value, expending services into operation/maintenance and how designers and builders can expand into new markets. Kristina also provides an update on the LOD Specification, a soon to be released LOD sample model and a BIM certification program.
