The Pre-Construction Process Is Broken and Architects Can Fix ItPreconstruction management platform founder Adam Katz joins the EntreArchitect Podcast to discuss how better information can transform the building process. Katz shares how his background in finance, construction, and technology shaped the vision behind Craydl. Together, they explore the persistent gap between design intent and construction cost.However, the problem is not just pricing. Architects, builders, and owners often work from different sets of information during preconstruction. Katz explains how Craydl creates a single source of truth so teams can align decisions early and reduce risk across the project.As the conversation unfolds, Katz highlights how clearer communication can improve margins, execution, and trust across the construction village. The result is a smarter preconstruction process that supports both creativity and financial reality. Looking ahead, Katz shares his vision for Craydl to become a widely recognized platform shaping the future of building.This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, The Pre-Construction Process Is Broken and Architects Can Fix It with Adam Katz.Learn more about Adam at Craydl, check out the Builder Portal, and connect with him on LinkedIn.Please Visit Our Platform SponsorsArcatemy is Arcat's Continuing Education Program.

How can architects move beyond the traditional service model and embrace a future where they build products instead of just selling hours?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, Evelyn Lee is joined by Larry Sass, a Professor of Architecture at MIT and lead of the Design Fabrication Group. Larry reflects on a 30-year journey that began with a desire to remain in traditional practice but shifted when he realized the industry's initial resistance to digital tools. Today, he is a leading voice in digital fabrication and 3D printing, advocating for a radical shift in how architects are trained and how they operate in a world increasingly defined by technology, automation, and the need for new business models.The conversation explores Larry's conviction that the architecture profession is at a crossroads. He discusses the friction between the slow-moving "service" model of architecture and the fast-paced world of digital innovation. Larry introduces the concept of the "third practice", a path where architects use their design expertise to create software, products, or new fabrication methods rather than simply billing for time. He shares insights from his work at MIT, including the DesignX program, which encourages students to approach architecture with an entrepreneurial mindset to solve industry-wide problems."Try and figure out how to teach people how to start new businesses around the industry of architecture. Reinvent it and rethink it." - Larry SassThis episode is a masterclass in rethinking the value of an architectural education. Larry breaks down why the industry has struggled to fully adopt digital fabrication and what it will take for the next generation to reclaim their role as innovators. From the limitations of current BIM tools to the potential for 3D printing to revolutionize housing, Larry's perspective challenges the traditional boundaries of the profession and offers a roadmap for those looking to disrupt the status quo from both inside and outside academia.Guest:Larry Sass is a professor of architecture at MIT, where he leads the Design Fabrication Group. With a PhD from MIT and decades of experience in both academia and practice, his research focuses on the intersection of computing and construction. He is dedicated to exploring how 3D printing and digital fabrication can lead to new forms of architectural practice and more efficient housing production.This episode is especially for you if:✅ You are curious about the "Third Practice" and how architects can pivot toward product-based or entrepreneurial business models.✅ You want to understand why digital fabrication has not yet fully disrupted traditional architectural practice as once predicted.✅ You are an educator or student looking for ways to integrate business ideation and entrepreneurship into the architecture curriculum.✅ You are interested in the future of 3D printing and its potential to address global housing needs through "printed" architecture.✅ You want to hear from a veteran of MIT who has spent 30 years bridging the gap between high-tech research and the reality of the profession.What have you done to take action lately?

Bringing Cost Clarity to Renovation for Owners and ArchitectsBringing cost clarity to renovation for owners and architects begins with a childhood in darkness. Michael Sweebe grew up in an illegal apartment in Toledo, Ohio, with no operable windows and little light. At nine years old, he began drawing floor plans, hoping to design a better life for his single mom. That instinct to bring light into dark spaces shaped his thirty-year career as an architect.However, over time, Michael saw a painful pattern. Homeowners spent thousands on drawings before they understood true construction costs. As a result, many projects stalled, savings disappeared, and trust was broken. Even when the design was strong, the system failed families who needed clarity first.Therefore, Michael stepped away from traditional practice to build Scopify. The platform delivers hyper-local cost intelligence and scope definition before owners commit to design or construction. In this conversation, he challenges architects to rethink how they serve and shows how cost clarity can rebuild trust. Ultimately, this episode reframes renovation as an enlightened journey, not a financial gamble.This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, Bringing Cost Clarity to Renovation for Owners and Architects with Michael Sweebe.

This week, Scott was joined by Rev. Mara Bim for a conversation about her faith journey and work in the immigration space. She is familiar to many in the Texas Impact audience as a longtime friend and advocate, and she was recently a featured speaker at the Texas United Women in Faith Legislative Event. Rev. Bim serves as the Justice and Advocacy Fellow at Royal Lane Baptist Church in Dallas and as a writer with Baptist News Global. The timing for the conversation was great, because it was the same week as the Faithful Resistance: A Public Witness for Immigrant Justice event in Washington, D.C. Thousands of people faith marched on the U.S. Capitol for a rally and for legislative visits, after a moving morning of worship with a powerful sermon by United Methodist Bishop Latrelle Easterling.

Dlubal Podcast: Digitales und Innovatives aus dem Ingenieurbau
Bauen ist kein Einzelkampf. Es ist Teamsport. Was passiert, wenn digitale Methoden wie BIM und Lean Construction auf reale Baustellen treffen – mit all ihren Dynamiken, Herausforderungen und Menschen? In der aktuellen Folge des Dlubal Podcasts spreche ich mit Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gerd Maurer, Professor für Baumanagement an der Technischen Hochschule Deggendorf. Mit seiner Erfahrung aus Praxis, Lehre und als öffentlich bestellter und vereidigter Sachverständiger bringt er eine klare Perspektive ein: Gute Bauprojekte entstehen nicht nur durch Technik – sondern durch Zusammenarbeit, Verantwortung und eine funktionierende Fehlerkultur.
BIM does not fail because of software. It fails when the field does not trust it. In this episode of Prefab, Unfiltered, recorded live at Advancing Prefabrication, Todd Weyandt sits down with Max Morgan and Matt Goshon to explore how BIM, VDC, and prefabrication connect to real jobsite execution. As data center construction accelerates and modular construction strategies scale, digital workflows must translate into buildable outcomes. That requires early collaboration, clear communication, and a shared source of truth across project teams. This conversation dives into how to earn field buy-in, prove prefab value early, and align BIM, project management, and installation crews from day one. If you are working in prefabrication, modular construction, BIM, VDC, or mission-critical construction, this episode delivers practical insight into making digital construction execution real and repeatable. You'll Learn Why field trust is critical to successful BIM and prefabrication How to prove prefab value early in a project lifecycle The importance of a shared source of truth across project teams How early collaboration reduces friction between design and installation Why standardization drives repeatability in modular construction Meet Our Guests Max Morgan began his career as a union wireman before transitioning into BIM and VDC, bringing firsthand field experience into digital modeling and prefabrication strategy. His work focuses on connecting constructability with modeling to ensure real-world installation success. Matt Goshon brings a background in analytics and systems thinking into the prefabrication and BIM environment. His experience centers on aligning data, workflows, and field execution to create scalable and repeatable digital construction processes. Together, they operate at the intersection of BIM, VDC, and electrical prefabrication, with a strong focus on field alignment and operational trust. Todd Takes BIM Only Works When the Field Trusts It. Advanced modeling tools are not enough. Prefabrication scales when digital teams earn credibility through accuracy, responsiveness, and constructability. Trust must be built early and consistently. Prove Value Early or Lose Momentum. First deliverables matter. When prefab packages save time and reduce rework, adoption accelerates. When they create friction, confidence drops quickly. Early wins drive long-term success. One Source of Truth Changes Everything. Disconnected systems create confusion. Alignment across BIM, prefabrication, and project management requires shared information and standardized workflows. That alignment enables repeatable outcomes across projects. More Resources Thanks for listening! Please be sure to leave a rating and/or review and follow up our social accounts.

En el episodio 200 de BIMrras nos metemos en terreno peligroso. ¿Y si en vez de usar un CDE lo programamos? ¿Y si dejamos de tratarlo como una marca comercial y empezamos a entenderlo como lo que realmente es: un sistema de reglas para gestionar información? Hablamos de qué significa construir un CDE Open Source, de traducir la ISO 19650 a código, de dejar de confundir software con metodología y de lo incómodo que resulta descubrir que no entendemos tan bien el sistema que usamos todos los días. Porque automatizar el caos no lo ordena. Lo acelera. Un episodio sobre soberanía digital, procesos y responsabilidad. Y sobre una idea que puede doler un poco: si no entiendes tu CDE, no estás gestionando información. Estás alquilando comodidad. Bienvenido al episodio 200 de BIMrras!

BIM is powerful. But a model that cannot be built creates downstream friction. In this episode of Prefab, Unfiltered, recorded live at Advancing Prefabrication, Todd Weyandt sits down with Jared Sutliff to explore the gap between BIM, VDC, prefabrication, and field execution. As data center construction accelerates and AI reshapes workflows, the pressure to make prefabrication repeatable and scalable is increasing. But success depends on more than modeling sophistication. It requires constructability, cultural buy-in, and early collaboration between designers, subcontractors, and field teams. This conversation dives into what it really takes to make BIM buildable and prefabrication executable at scale. If you are involved in prefabrication, modular construction, BIM, VDC, or mission-critical project delivery, this episode delivers practical insight from the front lines. You'll Learn Why a detailed BIM model does not automatically translate to constructability How prefabrication depends on early collaboration between engineers and subcontractors The impact of data center construction on prefab workflows Why AI and automation must align with field realities How repeated modeling mistakes can scale across projects What cultural buy-in looks like when implementing prefab strategies Meet Our Guest Jared Sutliff brings deep experience at the intersection of BIM, VDC, and electrical prefabrication. With a background in multimedia design and 3D modeling, he transitioned into construction technology and co-founded BIM Technology Management, focusing on constructability, coordination, and scalable prefab workflows. His work centers on aligning digital modeling with real-world installation, particularly in data center and mission-critical environments where repetition and precision are essential. Todd Takes A Model Is Only Valuable If It Can Be Built. BIM and VDC continue to evolve, but digital sophistication alone does not guarantee success. Prefabrication scales when modeling decisions reflect real jobsite constraints and installation sequencing. Buildable models drive repeatable outcomes. Prefabrication Requires Cultural Buy-In. Technology adoption without field alignment creates friction. Prefab success depends on leadership support, crew involvement, and clear communication across departments. It is not a software rollout. It is an operational shift. Early Collaboration Prevents Scaled Mistakes. In repetitive environments like data centers, small coordination issues can multiply across floors and facilities. Early collaboration between engineers, subcontractors, and suppliers reduces rework and compounds efficiency. More Resources Thanks for listening!

Ireland has the potential to be a major hub for global aquaculture innovation and scale-up, with 76 Irish companies now generating an estimated €165 million in value and supporting more than 900 full-time jobs, according to Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM), Ireland's Seafood Development Agency. Announcing the opening of applications for the 2026 Aquatech Innovation Studio, AquaScale, which this year will focus on supporting established companies scale up, BIM's Aquatech Business Manager, Damien Toner, said it will build on the proven success of the BIM Aquatech Innovation Studio platform, which has supported 66 start-ups and helped raise over €28 million in investment since 2018. The intensive three-day programme will take place in Galway from 26–28 May 2026, with applications closing on 31 March 2026. According to Damien Toner, AquaScale represents a strategic evolution, designed specifically for companies already active in the market. The programme is targeting applications from Aquatech enterprises preparing for their next phase of commercial growth. He said, "Ireland's Aquatech sector continues to demonstrate innovation and growing technical depth. With 76 companies now generating an estimated €165 million in value and supporting more than 900 full-time jobs, the sector is steadily strengthening its economic and scientific contribution both nationally and internationally. "As global demand for sustainable aquaculture production accelerates – particularly in high-value sectors such as salmon and shrimp – Ireland is well positioned to supply advanced technologies and expertise to international markets. Through initiatives like AquaScale, BIM is focused on ensuring that ambitious Irish Aquatech companies have the strategic clarity and commercial capability required to compete and scale globally." Unlike early-stage accelerators, AquaScale is not a pitch competition. Instead, it is a focused, market-driven intervention aimed at strengthening strategic clarity, commercial positioning, and execution readiness for expansion. The 2026 programme will once again be delivered in partnership with leading global aquaculture accelerator Hatch Blue. The BIM Aquatech Innovation Studio has laid a strong foundation for aquaculture innovation in Ireland. "AquaScale signals that we are ready for the next level," said Jessica Giannoumis, Hatch Blue's Aquatech Community Manager for Ireland. "Designed for commercially active companies preparing to expand, the programme strengthens strategic focus, commercial positioning, and execution readiness. AquaScale supports Ireland's most ambitious aquatech companies as they deepen market traction and scale more deliberately in international markets." AquaScale forms part of BIM's Aquatech Development Programme and is supported by the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (2021–2027). Programme Objectives AquaScale aims to: — Position Ireland as a launchpad for globally competitive aquaculture scale-ups. — Accelerate commercial traction and reduce risk for companies entering new markets. — Strengthen go-to-market, competitive positioning, and expansion strategies. What Makes AquaScale Different — Market-first, not tech-first. — Strategic clarity and execution support — not a pitch programme. — Designed for companies already selling and preparing to scale. — Equity-free, no participation fee, with a limited cohort of 8–10 companies. Who Should Apply? AquaScale is designed for companies that: — Are already active in the market with customers, pilots, or revenue. — Are preparing for expansion or market refocus (not first market entry). — Need honest, peer-level strategic discussion and rigorous commercial pressure-testing. By focusing on scale-stage challenges, AquaScale reflects BIM's commitment to strengthening Ireland's aquaculture innovation ecosystem — not only supporting new ventures, but ensuring high-potential companies are equipped to compete and grow internationally. Applications are now op...
“We keep iterating on an old construct—let's stop and start over. How do we want to do things differently? Let's get back to first principles.”KP ReddyEpisode Summary:In this special ElevateAEC 2025 edition of The Zweig Letter Podcast, we're sharing KP Reddy's keynote from the main stage—a straight-talk session about where innovation in AEC is actually heading. Drawing from real conversations with major owners, hands-on research, and his own experience as an engineer and investor, KP breaks down why the industry's current approach to innovation isn't cutting it—and what needs to change.He tackles the questions that matter: What do owners actually want? How can AI and agentic systems make a real difference? And what would a new master builder mindset look like today? This keynote delivers practical insights and honest challenges for AEC leaders ready to rethink how they approach business, technology, and client value.Key Takeaways:Owners Want Real Innovation, Not Lip Service: True innovation means solving problems in significantly better ways—not just adopting new technology for technology's sake. Owners are craving AEC partners who listen and deliver true value.Communication Gaps Hurt Everyone: Clients frequently feel like outsiders in the process, with their feedback often ignored. Successful firms will prioritize transparency, owner-centric approaches, and collaborative requirement gathering.Tech Is a Tool—Not the Solution: Despite years of BIM and other advancements, core challenges with cost, schedule, and quality persist. The next leap forward will come from integrating AI, agentic design, and robotics as part of service delivery—and from business models, not software alone.Business Model Reinvention Is Essential: Shifting away from headcount-driven metrics, AEC firms should explore skin-in-the-game approaches—like bonuses for outcomes, equity stakes, and public-private partnerships.Client and Product Manufacturers Must Both Change: Building-product innovators report frustration as AEC professionals and owners often resist new solutions. KP encourages the industry to break the cycle of “the way we've always done it” and fully explore prefabrication, modularity, and automation.All this and more on this episode of the Zweig Letter podcast.KP Reddy is the founder and CEO of Shadow Ventures and a recognized voice on innovation in architecture, engineering, and construction. With expertise spanning AI, robotics, and automation—plus his role as a lecturer at Georgia Tech—KP brings practical strategies that push the AEC industry forward.Links referenced in this episode:Shadow VenturesKP Reddy on LinkedIn"Creating the Intangible Enterprise" by KP ReddyZweig Group & ElevateAEC ConferenceLearn about the Zweig Letter and subscribe: https://thezweigletter.com/Connect with Randy Wilburn on LinkedInGet your FREE Subscription to the Zweig Letter Newsletter.Stay tuned for more enlightening content from the Zweig Letter podcast, and make sure to subscribe for regular updates!Other episodes you'll enjoy:Architecture with Heart - Carley ChastainFrom Specs to Stories with Cherise LakesideBridging Design and Construction with Dan CristAI Transforming AEC with KP ReddyConnect with Zweig Group:Instagram: Zweig GroupFacebook: Zweig GroupTwitter: Zweig GroupLinkedIn: Zweig GroupWebsite: Zweig Group

Prefabrication has moved beyond proof of concept. In this kickoff episode of Prefab, Unfiltered, recorded live at Advancing Prefabrication, Todd Weyandt explores what it really means to enter the execution era of prefab. The debate is no longer about whether prefabrication or modular construction works. It's about scale, repeatability, and partnership. From data centers driving massive MEP prefabrication growth to owners rethinking procurement and risk models, the industry is shifting from experimentation to operational maturity. In this episode, we unpack: Why data centers are accelerating prefab adoption How scale changes the economics of modular construction What true construction partnership actually looks like Why culture and contracts may be the next barriers to innovation If you care about prefabrication, offsite construction, BIM-to-fabrication workflows, or the future of construction innovation, this conversation sets the tone for what comes next. The execution era has begun. MEET OUR GUEST Amy Marks is a leading voice in prefabrication and industrialized construction, with more than a decade of experience advancing offsite construction, modular strategies, and large-scale MEP prefabrication. She has played a significant role in helping owners, contractors, and manufacturers move beyond transactional project delivery and toward scalable, repeatable partnership models. Her work has been especially influential in mission-critical sectors such as data centers, where standardization and scale are reshaping how projects are delivered. Amy focuses not only on components and assemblies, but also on the culture, procurement models, contracts, and executive alignment required to make prefabrication successful at scale. Todd Takes Prefabrication Has Entered the Execution Era For years, the industry focused on proving that prefabrication works. That debate is over. Prefab works. Modular construction works. Offsite strategies work. The real question now is whether we can execute consistently and at scale. Can we repeat results across projects? Can we move from isolated success stories to operational maturity? The future of prefabrication is no longer about experimentation. It is about discipline, ecosystem alignment, and getting better with every project. Prefab is no longer experimental. It is professional. Partnership Is a Business Model, Not a Buzzword The construction industry talks about partnership often, especially in prefabrication and modular construction. But there is a difference between transactional vendors and true partners. If five companies are bidding every project, that is procurement. It is not partnership. Real partnership involves shared risk, shared reward, executive-level communication, transparency when challenges arise, and a long-term commitment to scale together. In data center construction and other high-volume sectors, partnership is becoming structural, not optional. When both sides are fully invested, prefabrication scales. Scale Changes Everything Scale is the unlock for industrialized construction. When companies move beyond living project to project, they gain the breathing room to invest in systems, standardization, workforce development, and repeatable prefab workflows. Data centers are currently driving that scale, especially across MEP prefabrication and modular assemblies. The lessons being learned in data center construction today will influence healthcare, semiconductor, commercial, and even housing in the years ahead. Scale creates maturity. Maturity creates repeatability. Repeatability drives the future of prefabrication. More Resources Thanks for listening!

En el episodio anterior dimos por amortizado el LOD. Lo analizamos, lo pusimos en contexto y casi lo mandamos al cajón de las cosas que “ya hemos superado”. Error. Porque el LOD sigue ahí. En los pliegos. En los BEPs. En las reuniones donde alguien dice “esto está en 300” esperando que todo el mundo asienta con la cabeza. Y no siempre sabemos exactamente qué estamos afirmando cuando lo decimos. El podcast sobre BIM que Chuck Norris todavía no escucha.

Bim : on a enfin reçu Michel Bourez. Michel, c'est une carrière plutôt solide : représentant tricolore incontournable sur le World Tour pendant 12 années, le Tahitien a vécu des périodes phares de l'histoire du surf, et les transitions entre elles : la disparition brutale d'Andy Irons, ou le départ en retraite de la génération Fanning, Taj, Hobgoods & Co. La fin de l'ASP et la création de la WSL. Il a aussi vécu l'arrivée de Medina ou John John, de Nike dans le surf, des épreuves en piscine à vagues… et de la discipline aux JO. Rien que ça. Mais avant tout ça, il y a eu les débuts à Tahiti, la détection, les premiers voyages, la France, le team Quiksilver et un problème de planches qui cassaient trop souvent au bottom. Puis une accélération de la carrière, Firewire, la qualification, l'arrivée dans le team Nike, poursuivie un peu plus tard chez Hurley. Trois victoires sur le Tour. Des moments de gloire et de grosses frayeurs à Hawaii. Des heures passées dans le tube à Teahupoo. Et puis des hauts, des bas, comme tout le monde. Et vous savez quoi : Michel revient sur chacun de ces sujets, et bien d'autres, avec une pêche et une sincérité qui ont fait de l'enregistrement un moment très cool. Bref, un épisode solide. Enjoy. Merci pour le moment et l'inspiration Michel

To nie jest "typowy" wpis - chciałem Cię tylko poinformować, że po 9 miesiącach (uffff!) skończyłem pracę nad BYĆ i MIEĆ 2: High Performance. Nie chcę tu go wychwalać albo reklamować, dlatego zrobimy tak: wypiszę to co w BiM 2 omówiłem i to pomoże podjąć Ci decyzję, czy chcesz go kupić czy też nie. W pierwszej kolejności o tym, dla kogo jest BYĆ i MIEĆ 2: dla ludzi w biznesie dla ludzi w korporacjach dla ludzi w polityce dla sportowców dla ludzi w jednostkach specjalnych oraz dla wszystkich tych, których interesuje sięganie po więcej Dla kogo NIE jest BiM2? Bez wątpienia nie jest to program dla początkujących. NIE polecam również zaczynania przygody z ZenJaskiniowca od tego właśnie programu... Najbardziej skorzystają ci, którzy już znają moją twórczość, moje programy, moje podcasty, szczególnie BYĆ i MIEĆ 1. Pomimo tego, że BYĆ i MIEĆ 2 pomyślane jest jako program niezależny. Czyli - dobrze jest mieć bazę i przerobić to co było wcześniej, jeśli jednak tak się nie stało, nie ma szczególnego problemu. Jest to zatem program dla tych, którzy pracowali już z moimi materiałami i dla tych, którzy chcą spojrzeć na siebie, swoje możliwości oraz na świat w inny, lepszy sposób. Wiele w programie tym elementów, z którymi ja się spotkałem po raz pierwszy. WSTĘP - wstępu nie ma, bo od razu przechodzimy do rzeczy. ROZDZIAŁ 1 - Obi Wan Nairobi Czy aby napewno mental jest najważniejszym elementem High Performance? I czy aby na pewno najlepszym sposobem poprawy swojego mentalu jest praca nad nim bezpośrednio? Czym jest model MUSK? Jakie są dwie podstawowe przeszkody na drodze do wyjątkowych osiągnięć? Czego i High Performance uczą nas MrBeast, Matthew McConaughey i Anthony Hopkins? oraz czy skupianie się na detalach ma jakikolwiek sens? ROZDZIAŁ 2 - ALL BLACKS Czy High Performance polega na połączeniu się pod tradycję czy też na odrzuceniu jej? Dlaczego Juliusz Cezar popłakał się na widok pomnika Aleksandra Wielkiego? Jak pracować nad tym czego nikt nie będzie mógł ci odebrać? TO-DO-LIST vs TO-BE-LIST Jakie jest 5 pytań, które pomogą kształtować twoją nową, lepszą tożsamość? Jakich 3 mantra uczeni się wszyscy zawodnicy All Blacks? Jak postrzegać presję by cię wzmacniała? oraz na czym polega model czerwonej głowy / niebieskiej głowy? Czego tresura psów uczy o High Performance u ludzi? Jak w 3 krokach radzić sobie w sytuacji presji przy bardzo wysokich stawkach? Jakie są pułapki pogoni za większą pewnością siebie oraz do czego prowadzi wygrywanie tylko tego momentu... ROZDZIAŁ 3 - MACHIAVELLI dlaczego silni potrzebują konfliktów i godnego wroga? Czy jest jego prawie nieznana ale absolutnie rewolucyjna koncepcja UNO SOLO (oraz jakie są dalekosiężne jej konsekwencje) Do jakiej pozycji powinien dążyć każdy ambitny człowiek? Czy ekspansja jest dobrym pomysłem - a jeśli tak, to jaka? Jaka była główna - a często jedyna - motywacja wielkich historycznych postaci? (nie, nie chodzi o próżność) W jaki sposób High Performance wiąże się z koniecznością - czyli de facto z brakiem wyboru i wolności Która z konieczności musi być dla Księcia najważniejsza? Co powinno być jedynym hamulcowym pogoni za więcej? Na czym polega myślenie w kategoriach konieczności? i dlaczego starożytni byli silniejszymi ludźmi niż współcześni? Jaki jest jedyny sposób na osiągnięcie nieśmiertelności? Czym dla Machiavellego było "dobre, szczęśliwe życie"? W jaki sposób zrozumieli ludzkiej kondycji prowadzi w logiczny sposób do sięgania po więcej? Czym u Maka było pojęcie prawdy faktycznej (rzeczywistej) i jakie są konsekwencje tego pojęcia? Czy twoja religia aby na pewno cię wzmacnia? Co jest jedynym gwarantem skutecznego działania? Jaką jest "etyka" w wykonaniu Machiavellego? Jaka jest jego psychologia High Performance i czym są LEW, LIS, SPIRITO i AMINO? Dlaczego musisz być bardziej zwierzęciem niż człow...
Buckle up, Geoholics… this one's for the builders, the dreamers, and the tech rebels. This week we sit down with Marc Goldman — part storyteller, part pilot, part GIS evangelist, and 100% believer that location intelligence is the secret sauce behind the future of the built environment. Marc didn't follow the “safe” path. He walked away from architecture and engineering school at 21 to start his first AEC-tech company — betting on himself before “startup culture” was even a thing. Thirty years later, after navigating startups, global orgs, and everything in between, he's still pushing the industry forward… helping architects, engineers, and surveyors finally see how GIS connects all the dots. And trust us… this isn't just a “software talk”...this is mindset stuff. We get into: Taking big risks early and why failure is the best professor The real difference between startups and enterprise culture Bridging the gap between CAD, BIM, and spatial thinking Where GIS actually delivers value (not just buzzwords) Digital twins, reality capture, and what's practical vs hype Leading teams through change without losing your people Inspiring early-career pros to find their lane in AEC tech And what's next… AI, interoperability, and the data-driven future of our industry Marc's passion is contagious — especially when he talks about helping the next generation “take flight” (literally and figuratively). His analogies from flying airplanes to flying careers hit home in true Geoholics fashion. If you've ever wondered how survey, GIS, BIM, and reality capture finally come together into one ecosystem, this episode connects the dots. Big energy. Big perspective. Big future. So whether you're in the field, the office, or cruising at 30,000 feet...hit play and let's map it out. As always — Add value. Make friends. TITS OUT & CHIN UP! Music by Pink Floyd!
Why Architects Will Own the Future of AI Digital TwinsIn this episode of the EntreArchitect Podcast, we explore why architects will own the future of AI digital twins. Mark R. LePage talks with Michael Jansen and Dr. Prasanta Bose about how artificial intelligence is reshaping design and operations. They explain how TwinMaster is helping firms work smarter, not harder.First, Michael shares how his global architecture and technology background led him to build new ways to scale design work. Meanwhile, Prasanta explains how machine learning and digital twins can turn building data into clear, useful insights. Together, they show how AI can improve speed, quality, and decision-making.The conversation looks ahead to what this means for the profession. Architects are no longer just drawing buildings. Instead, they are becoming the leaders of intelligent systems that manage and optimize the built environment.This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, Why Architects Will Own the Future of AI Digital Twins with Michael Jansen and Dr. Prasanta Bose.Learn more about Michael and Prasanta at TwinMaster, and connect on LinkedIn.

For really boring and predictable, visit YStreetCapital.com to learn more about our US Storage Fund. Register for our investor portal. Any investment would is restricted to accredited investors residing in the US by prospectus only and in compliance with SEC regulations. -------------Today we are going to talk about a quiet but meaningful shift on construction sites, one that most investors never see directly, but one that materially affects cost, schedule, and execution risk. We are talking about robots that translate CAD drawings into dimensionally accurate framing layouts directly on the job site.This is not science fiction. This is happening today.For decades, the process of laying out walls has been surprisingly analog. Usually the most experienced member of the framing crew would take printed drawings, pull tapes, snap chalk lines, mark plates, and hope that nothing drifted. Errors were common, especially as buildings became more complex and tolerances tighter. Every mistake cascaded downstream into framing conflicts, mechanical clashes, and rework. The state of the art today replaces that manual translation with robotic layout.The most widely deployed example is Dusty Robotics and their FieldPrinter system. The concept is straightforward but powerful. The robot takes a BIM or CAD model and prints the layout directly onto the slab or deck using ink, at full scale, with millimeter-level accuracy. Wall lines, door openings, column grids, even labels can be printed directly where the framer needs them.Another major entrant is HP, through its SitePrint robot. HP brings decades of large-format printing expertise into construction. SitePrint performs a similar function, translating digital models into printed layouts on concrete floors. The significance here is not just accuracy, but repeatability. A robot does not get tired. It does not misread a dimension. It prints what is in the model, every time.-----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

En este episodio de BIMrras vamos a meterle el bisturí a uno de esos temas que suelen dar más sueño que ganas: el LOIN, o para los amigos, el “Level of Information Need”. Pero antes de que busques una excusa para no escuchar, déjame decirte algo: si alguna vez has abierto un modelo BIM y has sentido que pesaba más que el archivo de impuestos de Hacienda, o si te has preguntado por qué tu validación ha fallado sin que nadie te sepa explicar por qué, entonces esto te interesa. Aquí no vamos a hablar de teoría abstracta, sino de cómo gestionar la información en tus proyectos para que no acabes con un modelo tan lleno de datos inútiles que ni el propio Revit sepa qué hacer con él. Porque esto va de poner orden, de evitar el “por si acaso” y de decidir con cabeza qué datos metes, para qué y para quién. Bienvenido al episodio 198 de BIMrras! Contenido del episodio: 00:00 - Introducción y presentación del episodio 02:10 - ¿Para qué lo quieres? La pregunta que lo cambia todo 07:45 - LOD vs LOIN: geometría vs necesidad 13:20 - Obesidad modelada: el síndrome del modelo hinchado 18:30 - IDS: cómo comprobar si tu modelo está bien informado 26:40 - Requisitos y jerarquía de la información (OIR, AIR, EIR) 34:15 - El caos en la entrega de información y el handover 41:05 - El gran olvidado: Facility Management 48:20 - ¿Quién es responsable de definir el LOIN? 54:00 - Lo que deberías preguntarte antes de meter información 58:10 - Cierre y conclusiones del episodio

Nuclear power promises to provide energy when other sources can't. But nuclear plants currently take a long time to build—often more than a decade. Anthony Burch, digital manager, Egis, and his colleagues, are working on the key components of Hinkley Point C in England. These form the so-called ‘nuclear island'—the reactor building and four associated safety buildings. In this episode, Anthony describes the challenges of delivering ‘right first time' construction on a highly complex, one off, and long term project: Hinkley Point C. He explains the challenges of clash detection on a project that has continued to evolve, and how the use of BIM and digital tools has smoothed this process. He describes how work on this project will feed into future projects, such as Sizewell C, and open the way to a new generation of nuclear power plant construction.

Hubo un tiempo en el que hablar de BIM parecía relativamente sencillo. Modelos 3D, información asociada, coordinación entre disciplinas. No era fácil, pero al menos el terreno estaba más o menos acotado. Luego llegó el tiempo. Después el coste. Y, en algún punto indeterminado, alguien decidió que numerar conceptos era una buena idea y empezó a preguntarse por las dimensiones del BIM. Desde entonces, BIM empezó a crecer en dimensiones como si fuera un Pokémon mal alimentado. En este episodio de BIMrras nos paramos —por fin— a mirar con calma qué hay realmente detrás de las famosas “D del BIM”. No desde el marketing, ni desde el dispositivo bonito, sino desde la experiencia real de proyecto, obra y operación. Porque una cosa es usar una analogía para explicar algo complejo y otra muy distinta es convertir esa analogía en doctrina. La pregunta no es cuántas dimensiones tiene BIM. La pregunta es si nos están ayudando a entenderlo… o a venderlo. Contenido del episodio: 00:00 Introducción y presentación del podcast 02:15 Qué son las dimensiones en BIM y por qué generan confusión 05:10 Origen didáctico y uso comercial de las dimensiones BIM 08:40 Del 3D al 4D: geometría y tiempo en BIM 13:30 El 5D y la asociación con mediciones y presupuestos 18:10 Críticas al 6D, 7D y dimensiones posteriores 24:20 Falta de estandarización y problemas normativos 30:40 Dimensiones BIM frente a usos reales del modelo 38:15 El modelo BIM como herramienta de información, no de marketing 46:30 Facility Management y los límites del llamado 7D 54:10 Cómo explicar BIM y sus usos a un cliente 01:01:30 Conclusiones finales sobre las dimensiones BIM
Prefabrication only reaches its full potential when it's treated as a system, not a shortcut. In this episode of Bridging the Gap, we explore what it really takes to scale prefab beyond one-off projects and into a repeatable delivery model. The discussion dives into how standardization can unlock flexibility, why prefab strategy must be defined early, and how digital tools like BIM, automation, and emerging AI capabilities can enable more predictable outcomes. We also unpack one of the biggest challenges facing industrialized construction today: owning and managing data across the full lifecycle. If you're thinking about prefab as a long-term strategy—not just a construction tactic—this episode offers a grounded, practical perspective. You'll Learn: What “systematizing prefab” means beyond standardizing components Why repeatability is the key to scaling prefab successfully How early decisions shape prefab outcomes downstream Where digital tools truly add value in prefab workflows Why data ownership and lifecycle continuity remain major gaps How standardization can support customization rather than limit it MEET OUR GUEST Our guest is a leader working at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and industrialized construction. With a background spanning marketing, IT, systems engineering, and modular delivery, he brings a unique perspective on how prefabrication can improve speed, quality, and predictability—especially in highly standardized environments like healthcare. His work focuses on building the process infrastructure required to make prefab repeatable, scalable, and digitally connected. TODD TAKES Prefab Only Scales When You Stop Treating It Like a Project Prefab falls short when it's approached as a one-off solution instead of an operating model. The real breakthroughs happen when organizations step back and think in terms of delivery strategy, repeatability, and long-term systems. When prefab becomes infrastructure rather than an experiment, speed, predictability, and quality follow. Standardization Doesn't Kill Flexibility, It Enables It There's a persistent myth that standardization leads to cookie-cutter outcomes. In reality, a strong standardized foundation creates more flexibility, not less. When the core system is consistent, teams can adapt interiors, workflows, and use cases to real-world needs without reinventing the wheel every time. Digital Tools Matter, But Ownership Matters More Construction has no shortage of powerful digital tools. The real gap is ownership and continuity of data across the lifecycle. Without clear responsibility for the digital thread from design through manufacturing and operations, handoffs break down and value gets lost. Technology enables scale, but systems thinking makes it sustainable. More Resources Thanks for listening! Please be sure to leave a rating and/or review and follow up our social accounts.

Ever wondered what a futurist does? Well, it's not all time machines and crystal balls. Renowned futurist, best-selling author, and technologist, Theo Priestly, joins us to challenge your perception; it's less about predicting the future and more about preparing for it. He unveils his fascinating career trajectory from banking to technology and how this shift has informed his approach to futurism, emphasizing the need to ponder who bears the brunt of our technological decisions.As our conversation progresses, we look at the compelling concept of cross-pollination of ideas between industries. Using game development as an intriguing case study, we demonstrate how data-driven insights can dramatically impact decision-making in fields as diverse as architecture, urban design, and engineering. We also explore the idea of leveraging technology to fuel both incremental growth and genuine innovation. But what does this mean for the decision-making process at the CEO level? Theo argues every choice must be dissected under the microscope of who benefits - shareholders, customers, or employees?Finally, we dig into the complex minefield of AI ethics and data bias. Overlaying ethical data policies onto historically biased data is a task fraught with challenges; we delve deep into this topic. We also consider the role of consultants in shaping the corporate technology environment and how they navigate the introduction of new technologies and products in established companies. And just when you thought you had it all figured out, Theo introduces a paradigm-shifting idea - a device that could access the past. As we grapple with the implications of living in a 'post-truth' world, we ponder how technology could be used to access the source of truth. Join us for an engaging discourse that promises to disrupt your thinking and offer a fresh perspective on the future of technology and its ethical implications.Contact the Future Construct Podcast Produced by BIM Designs, Inc!
