  • BWB Episode 42 - The Evolution of Technical Support with Paul Stuva

    Hey BWB Fans, 

    This was a great episode in which we catch up with long time friend and colleague Paul Stuva. We dive into tangents regarding weather and seasonal/regional construction, CIM, BIM, the mass adoption of BIM 360, and how the technical support landscape has evolved. Technical support used to be about helping customers get up and running when they were down or solving what seems like a never ending cycle of the 10 most common problems every day. Today it is more about project support and being a partner and advocate for the customer rather than helping solve the same issue every few months. Paul provides great insights on the most common issues, how client habits are changing, and what he sees for the future of support.

We made sure to address the rise of scanning in the US as well as how it falls into the larger process.

  • BWB Episode 38 - UNIFI-ying BIM Standards with Dwayne Miller

    Hey BWB Fans, 

    This episode was a real treat. We got to interview one of the greatest minds in BIM, Dwayne Miller. Dwayne has an impressive background working on some of the largest, most complex projects in the early days of BIM. If they were ever to make a movie about BIM I imagine they'd have to base the lead off his character and his corresponding rise to BIM success. Today, Dwayne is the CEO and Co-Founder of arguably one of the greatest BIM tools available, UNIFI Labs. Dwayne talks about his beginnings with the military, history working on casino projects, and ultimately developing a solution to one of the biggest gaps in our industry. This is an episode you won't want to miss!
