Brewing with BIM

Hey BWB Fans,

Dave and I wanted to revisit the BIM basics, i.e. simpler tools that all can leverage. In this episode we dive into Bluebeam and review how it fits into the BIM and digital construction puzzle. If you are completely new to Bluebeam this one is definitely for you as we break down the different versions as well as use cases by discipline.

Hey BWB Fans, 

In this episode of Brewing with BIM we dive into a BIM topic fresh on our mind, coordination. There is a lot to coordination and this will be something we dive into further as we pick apart VDC and all it entails. There are some pitfalls one should be aware of going into coordination as well as some tips to make your process smoother. Tune in as we jump in feet first.

Hey BWB Fans, 

This episode is dedicated less to BIM and more to another topic near and dear to our hearts, muscle cars. We've got a few projects in the works and just wanted to talk about them. If you are looking for your weekly BIM fix fear not, we will return later this week with a new episode. 

Hey BWB Fans,

In this episode we get to dive into scanning and BIM with Ron Nauta. Ron is the Director of VDC/BIM at Team Zelus. We had a great conversation around BIM & scanning pain points and workflows. Don’t worry we save plenty of time for tangents and amazing beers.

Hey BWB Fans, 

In this episode we get back to the primitive beings we are, BIM Apes. We are excited about all the new tech, AI, robotics, generative design, but that can be overwhelming to someone just getting into BIM. In this episode we get back to our roots and discuss simple steps to get into BIM and why it is beneficial. After all, BIM is more than creating complicated 3D models to look pretty.... To quote a true BIM advocate, Johann Tuckler, #BIMIsMoreThanModels

Hey BWB Fans,

In this episode we get to dive into elements way beyond BWB comprehension yet somehow our special guest  makes it relatable. Join us as we talk AI and construction tech with the dynamic René Morkos. René is the founder of Alice Technologies. Alice has one of the coolest origin stories out there.

Hey BWB Fans,

Join us and construction technology legend John Niles as we dissect beneficial workflows and tools for connecting point clouds to the cloud. If you aren't already familiar with John Niles of Gafcon, run don't walk to connect with him on LinkedIn. 

Hey BWB Fans,

I’ll be the first to admit that while we love our guests and our format, every now and then you just have to go freeform. Dave and I had no agenda and just wanted to catch up on BIM, technology in general, and discuss somethings we’ve been seeing in the industry.

Hey BWB Fans,

In this episode we start near the beginning identifying broken handover process between firms and disciplines on a project. Some of these age old problems still occur despite new contract types, BIM execution plans, and even long standing relationships. We know there is more here than meets the eye but we talk about this issue and others we are seeing and dive into how cloud collaboration (ignited by the pandemic) is resolving pieces - or at the very least getting the traditional players to take a deeper look at old practices.
