Brewing with BIM

In this episode we pay tribute to a vital BIM tool that often gets a bad rap as not being "BIM enough" - whatever that means... We spend time recounting the cost of adoption, versatility & many uses, as well as history & fun trivia. Don't fret, we still manage to find plenty of time to drink alcohol and get lost in tangents.

In this episode we discuss, you guessed it, beer...and other stuff. We highlight an important tool called Bluebeam for those wanting leverage design data downstream that have no place in a design application. This simple yet robust tool allows users to leverage the plan sets they are used to in a digital environment. For those of you new to Bluebeam this is an important episode as we highlight history, functionality, cost of adoption, workflows, and for you pro users out their we highlight some advanced tips and uses. If you aren't familiar with this tool I suggest you do some investigative research to see if it can help your firm streamline workflows and processes.

In this episode we discuss - you guessed it - ALCOHOL. But we also talk about cool technology, whine about working in the cold, combating the cold with technology, and most importantly - what we want from the big guy.

Well, there is always next year!

As always, in this episode we drink great alcohol. Okay, so it's not always great alcohol but it is this time, promise!
