Brewing with BIM

Hey BWB Fans, 

In this episode we had the pleasure of connecting with Dave Ménard and Kate Kirwan of Unity. Unity has long been at the forefront of visualization but their recent acquisition of VisualLive has shown just how committed they are to the AEC industry. Dave and Kate give us a peak into Unity's focus on AEC and their mission to solve real problems. Tune in as we discuss digital twins, BAM (Big Ass Models), and the importance of visualizing projects beyond the computer screen.

Hey BWB Fans, 

In this episode we break down some of the AU Sessions we are looking forward to most. For the sake of time we limited it to 5 each but there are just so many good ones this year. 

What are some of your most anticipated sessions this year?

Hey BWB Fans, 

In this episode we get to chat with another of the great staff at CAD DJM, Matt Webster. Tune into this episode to learn how Matt works with cutting edge technology such as scanning and VR. Like most of us in this space, Matt’s foray into construction technology was unconventional. Listen in as he explains his path to construction and hear how his passion for technology drives him.

Connect with Matt (be sure to congratulate him on his upcoming nuptials)

Hey BWB Fans,

This episode was a long time in the making. After bonding on LinkedIn over beer, geography, and technology I knew I had to meet up with Seth. Upon meeting in person, he did not disappoint. Seth is passionate about his city, knowledgeable about local beer, and committed to developing meaningful spaces.

This episode is packed with Cincinnati history, technology talk, reverence for great architecture, and as always great beer.

Hey BWB Fans,

This was an exciting episode and you are in for a treat. In this episode we dive into coordination, coordinates, scanning, BIM, and so much more with survey and VDC professional, Will Dam. Will is locally renowned expert out of the Pacific Northwest and works for one of the largest general contractors in the area, Andersen Construction. So grab your favorite drink and join us as we tackle coordination. 

This episode was rather timely as we are sponsored by the great coordination accelerator, Sherlock. Sherlock is a time saving, risk reducing plugin from Flypaper.  If you are not familiar be sure to check them out.

Hey BWB Fans, 

We are back from break and wanted to kick 2022 off right. Tune in as we review some of the best construction and design tech of 2021, new features, trends, acquisitions, and headlines. There is much to cover as 2021 was a big year for construction tech. Don't worry, we find plenty of time for tangents and great alcohol. 

Hey BWB Fans, 

If you've tuned in to prior episodes you've likely heard us talk about connecting GIS and BIM. In this episode we dive into one of the best ways to connect the data, GeoBIM. Don't worry, we find plenty of time for tangents and to drink great beer.

Hey BWB Fans, 

In this episode of Brewing with BIM we explore the emerging importance data in construction. There are many forms of data in construction ranging from design data, project data, and even data that goes beyond a single project. As we move into these common data environments it's important to utilize tools to view across a single CDE and into financials, safety, risk, etc. We have tools at our disposal to aggregate, analyze, and even share this data. However, we need to emphasize the importance of the roles and related tools. If you are curious about the data on your project or in your design, this is a great starter episode as we dive further into the world of data in future episodes. 

Hey BWB Fans, 

In this episode of Brewing with BIM we dive into the world of scanning with the Existing Conditions crew. They are responsible for scanning some of the coolest projects in the Northeast. We tackle the hurdles of scanning and discuss why on some projects it is best to go with the pros. Grab a beer and tune in to a great episode. 

Hey BWB Fans, 

In this episode of Brewing with BIM we go international as we talk with construction and BIM evangelist, Hannes Endriß's. Hannes is the CTO of German BIM startup, BIM2. 

At BIM2 they are "bimifying" temporary, yet still very important, construction elements such as scaffolding and formwork. As a veteran of the industry with a background in engineering, Hannes has a unique perspective for BIM for construction and constructability.

Tune in as we dive into all things BIM, Construction, and beer.
