Smarter Building

We caught up with Rhys Lewis, Director at Revizto, a 2D and 3D collaboration platform, as he delves into the latest advancements of BIM within today’s construction landscape. He discusses how the concept of BIM is now perceived similarly to Digital Twins and why he prefers to use the term "digital excellence" for achieving efficiency instead.

Rhys also dives into the challenges and breakthroughs of adopting digital solutions from overcoming the fear of change, to proving value to clients. This conversation offers a refreshing look at the future of construction technology and the mindset shifts necessary to thrive.
