In this episode of the Construction Corner podcast, Dillon and John pull back the curtain on what drives Vertical Design Services — and what drives them personally. With 15 years of experience in electrical engineering, Dillon shares why he thrives on the front end of projects: crafting proposals, sizing equipment, and building the one-line diagrams that most contractors struggle to put together on their own.Dillon also reflects on his background in software and automation — spending nearly a decade in Revit building layout tools for commercial projects — and how stepping back from that technical side allowed him to grow into his true strengths: client relationships, project management, and business development.They open up about the day-to-day reality of juggling 20+ projects at once, why picking up the phone beats email every time, and how Vertical Design Services differentiates itself by sweating the details other firms leave on the table — like ladder tray routing that typically gets passed off to contractors.Finally, they look ahead at what scaling the business means over the next 6–12 months: building out the sales side, cultivating new partnerships, and continuing to grow in markets where blue-collar relationships and trust are everything.

This episode examines the use of extended reality in the AEC industry through the eyes of Abby Coleman, winner of Healthcare Design magazine's HCD10 Industry MVP Award. As IMEG's extended reality specialist, Abby has spent the last four years creating immersive experiences people can step into. Her role, she says, is to help “engineers and, most importantly, clients use augmented and virtual reality to thoroughly understand a proposed design.” To date she has facilitated or supported more than 5,000 such experiences for IMEG project stakeholders. Abby frames extended reality, or XR, as a way of moving design conversations out of flat, two-dimensional drawings and into a space where stakeholders can react instinctively. Once participants get into a headset, she says, “you can just hear the ‘oohs' and ‘ahs'—like, ‘Oh, wow, I can really see the benefit of using this technology for design.” Such experiences, she says, provide participants with a thorough understanding and visualization of spaces as designed. “It really helps them make better, more informed, and confident decisions before anything gets built.” Abby categories XR experiences into three levels, depending on the audience and the project. “Level one would probably be just using augmented reality on your mobile device,” she says, describing use cases such as jobsite visits and groundbreaking ceremonies. Level two is “using our VR software on PCs to really just visualize it on a screen.” Level three, the most immersive, would be “stepping into” and “looking around” a space using a VR headset, with designers being able to move elements in real time based on the suggestions of the viewers, e.g., healthcare clinicians. “Once folks are in that immersive level three experience, we definitely do have the capability to move our live Revit elements,” Abby says. A Mayo Clinic XR experience, for example, used immersive VR to show multiple boom layouts and check clearances and usability—based on the clinicians' feedback—before construction began. In another XR experience, IMEG led a VR workshop for more than 50 Henry Ford Health clinicians, putting them into a future smart patient room featuring the healthcare information technology suggested by the designers for the project. In these and other instances, the ability to adjust design in real time helps stakeholders evaluate options in a more meaningful way than a marked-up plan ever could. Looking ahead, Abby imagines a future in which XR becomes even more powerful as it incorporates artificial intelligence. Instead of making adjustments manually during XR design reviews teams will simply use voice prompts to ask AI to make changes in the model instantaneously. “I definitely think AI and XR are going to cross paths,” she says. Watch IMEG extended reality experience videos of a patient room, conference room, and job site visits.
When every pitch deck looks the same, sameness becomes the fastest path to the rejection pile.In this episode of KP Unpacked, KP Reddy and Nick unpack why AI-generated pitch decks have become the new resume red flag, why Zero RFI scrapped ROI calculators entirely in favor of just doing the work, and why a GTM leader took a salary cut to join a startup without ever doing the math on what a successful exit would actually pay them. KP walked them through the numbers. Their face went white.The conversation spans the Bay Area network effect (Nick is two weeks into testing a potential move and already has data), why construction innovation teams are now spinning up working prototypes two days before board meetings to justify replacing vendor software, and why Autodesk's $250M bet on World Labs might be the smartest move they've made since buying Revit. The deeper thread? AI is creating a sameness problem. Pitch decks look identical. Buildings are starting to look identical. And if your pitch for a construction AI startup looks like everyone else's, you've already lost. KP's new sales process: send an NDA, send your files, let us show you the value. If we created it, pay us what you think it's worth. If we didn't, pay us nothing. Four meetings replaced by one.Key questions answered:Why does KP refuse to open a Claude-generated pitch deck?What did the GTM leader's face look like when KP ran the startup math?How did Zero RFI replace their entire sales process with "send us your files"?Why did Zero RFI delete all their ROI calculators?What is the "show me, don't tell me" sales model and does it actually work?Why are construction innovation teams building working prototypes before board meetings?Are large engineering firms starting to replace vendor software with internal builds?Why is Autodesk's World Labs bet smarter than anything Procore is doing?What does "Zoom is for tactics, in-person is for strategy" actually mean?Why is the Bay Area network effect getting stronger, not weaker?Should startup employees be money-motivated and why is that not taboo?What happens when every building starts looking like an AI-generated pitch deck?If you're a founder sending Claude pitch decks and wondering why you're not getting meetings, a GTM leader considering a startup salary cut, or an innovation team trying to justify your budget to a CFO with a working demo, this episode will make you rethink what standing out actually requires when everyone has access to the same tools.Listen now.

How can architecture firms unlock decades of buried institutional knowledge, and what happens to the apprenticeship model when every detail the firm has ever drawn is just a single query away?In this bonus episode of Practice Disrupted, host Evelyn Lee dives into a conversation created with Pirros, exploring how technology bridges the gap between historic firm data and daily production workflows. The episode features Ross Wagner, who leads sales at Pirros, alongside Xander Ellenbogen, a senior BIM manager at Clark Nexsen. Together, they explore how firms can transition from hunting through endless subfolders to operating with an intelligent, centralized knowledge base.Ross shares his trajectory from designing high-rise residential projects to riding the technology wave at PlanGrid and Autodesk, eventually joining Pirros to help firms maximize their workflow efficiency. Xander provides an on-the-ground perspective from Clark Nexsen, discussing his evolution from a traditional architect and the firm's first commercial drone pilot to managing advanced BIM workflows. He explains how his firm used Pirros to adapt to a post-COVID, discipline-based model, allowing team members across multiple offices and states to access vetted, high-quality details instantaneously.The conversation digs deeply into the broader implications of AI in the AECO space, specifically addressing the common comparison to the historical CAD-to-BIM shift. While the CAD-to-BIM transition still resulted in flat 2D drawing deliverables, the guests argue that AI represents a fundamentally different leap focused on data portability and knowledge preservation across an entire firm. They also tackle the crucial element of change management in a trust-driven profession, outlining the "sandwich effect" required to achieve widespread software adoption from leadership down to production staff."We're not here to flatten creativity and just be a place where you copy and paste. It's a place where you learn, you mentor, but also ensure that you don't go through the tedious tasks of reinventing the wheel each time and basically spend a bunch of hours hunting for something that you are trying to learn from." - Ross WagnerFinally, they look ahead to the future of design with recent tools like Mira, a Revit agentic copilot, and discuss how firms can maintain the critical thinking required in the traditional apprenticeship model while letting AI do the tedious heavy lifting.GuestsRoss Wagner, Assoc. AIA, began his career in architecture before moving into design technology, where he helped scale PlanGrid from under $10M to over $100M in ARR before its acquisition by Autodesk. Now Head of Sales at Pirros, he helps AECO firms improve productivity by transforming historical design content into trusted, accessible knowledge.Xander Ellenbogen, AIA, is a licensed architect and Senior BIM Manager at Clark Nexsen, where he leads BIM standards, Revit workflows, and reality capture initiatives across the firm. With a background spanning architectural design and BIM leadership, he is currently directing a firmwide template rebuild as part of the JMT merger while continuing to serve as an Associate Principal.This episode is especially for you if:✅You want to understand how Pirros captures a firm's historical work into an intelligent, AI-based search engine to prevent team members from redrawing existing details.✅ You are curious about the "sandwich effect" in change management and how to secure software buy-in from both firm leadership and production staff.✅ You want to explore why the CAD-to-BIM shift failed to move past 2D deliverables and how the AI shift focuses on data portability instead.✅ You want to learn how firms can preserve the traditional apprenticeship model by using AI to handle 70% of the baseline work while keeping designers focused on the remaining 30% of critical problem-solving.✅ You are interested in the potential of agentic workflows in Revit, such as Pirros' recently released chatbot copilot, Mira.What have you done to take action lately?

Hay edificios donde la arquitectura marca el proyecto. Y luego están los centros de datos, donde son las instalaciones las que dictan las reglas del juego. Cuando un edificio debe garantizar funcionamiento ininterrumpido, redundancia, capacidad de crecimiento y consumos eléctricos descomunales, coordinar disciplinas deja de ser una cuestión de organización para convertirse en el propio núcleo del diseño. En este episodio hablamos de coordinación BIM en centros de datos, modelos federados, redundancia, estrategias de modelado, automatización de flujos de información y explotación de datos mediante Power BI. Analizamos cómo se diseñan infraestructuras donde cada decisión afecta a decenas de sistemas interconectados y donde el modelo BIM deja de ser únicamente una representación geométrica para convertirse en una herramienta de gestión. ¿Qué ocurre cuando las instalaciones dejan de adaptarse a la arquitectura y es la arquitectura la que debe adaptarse a ellas? ¿Cómo se coordina un proyecto que cambia constantemente sin perder el control de la información? ¿Puede un modelo BIM servir para algo más que detectar colisiones? Un episodio sobre infraestructuras críticas, coordinación multidisciplinar y una realidad que cada vez será más habitual: cuanto más complejo es un proyecto, más importante resulta gestionar correctamente la información que lo sostiene.

Pensi che per imparare Revit basti conoscere i comandi principali? In questo episodio scopri perché è uno degli errori più comuni. Revit non si impara comando per comando, ma comprendendo il flusso di un progetto: livelli, viste, famiglie, tavole ed esportazioni.

In the final installment of a three-part series on IMEG's 2026 Whole Carbon Action Plan (WCAP), senior sustainability and energy engineer Laura Hagan discusses how the company is tackling embodied carbon in structural systems. IMEG's carbon reduction journey began four years ago when the firm became a signatory to SE 2050, the structural engineering industry's initiative to eliminate embodied carbon in structures by the year 2050. That original structural-focused plan has evolved into IMEG's broader WCAP, which now also incorporates MEP and infrastructure disciplines. Laura, who also is a structural engineer, says SE 2050 “is a great program to be a part of because it really challenges us to be accountable for how we are designing and how we are trying to reduce embodied carbon.” Critical to this effort is first being able to measure the carbon impacts across IMEG's large national project portfolio. “We are in the process of trying to figure out what our designs mean in terms of carbon emissions,” Laura says. “Unfortunately, with the size of IMEG, it's not possible for us to do a whole building lifecycle assessment on every project the firm designs. So instead, we are using material schedules we created in Revit to calculate the quantities of materials in a structural model. Then we are going to transfer the quantities to an internal IMEG database that will multiply them by global warming potential (GWP) factors. This will give us a preliminary high-level assessment of the amount of embodied carbon a structural project is going to emit.” IMEG also will analyze the data for benchmarking purposes, she adds. “When we are able to make this connection with the internal database, the designers and structural engineers will be able to see, in real time, the projected embodied carbon emissions of the quantities of materials that they are designing with,” Laura says. Engineers can then test different framing layouts, slab thicknesses, or material quantities and immediately see the impact on emissions. “Anyone who's familiar with embodied carbon knows that if you can reduce the quantity of the material that you have, you're going to reduce the amount of embodied carbon that you have.” Laura says even small specification changes can produce meaningful results at scale. She references a case study involving slab-on-grade concrete design in which reducing slab thickness or lowering concrete strength produced a 10 percent to possibly 20 percent reduction in embodied carbon for that building element. “It's a great example of low-hanging fruit,” she says. “If you can reduce your quantity and it still performs perfectly for its structural capacities and serviceability requirements, you are going to save carbon and hopefully you'll save some money too.” Looking ahead, Hagan says innovation in low-carbon materials is crucial for achieving the long-term SE 2050 goal of net zero structural systems. “Innovation has to happen on the material side, then people have to start designing with it, and it has to make it into building codes as an allowable system. That all takes time, and then you have to build the demand for using the material on projects.” Laura's motivation comes from the engineering mindset itself. “We are problem solvers,” she says. “This is basically a giant problem that we don't have all the solutions to, but it's something that if we work together and continue to provide pressure to the industry we can reduce embodied carbon. “People are recognizing that this is important and trying to address it. That's what keeps me excited and what makes me happy to be doing this work and continuing to push for more every day.” To learn more, listen to part one and part two of this series or read IMEG's 2026 Whole Carbon Action Plan.
In this episode of the Construction Corner podcast, host Dillon breaks down the importance of coordination and clash detection in Revit-based construction projects. He explains how modeling every trade's systems — conduit, duct, pipe, hangers, sprinkler heads, and more — in a shared virtual environment before breaking ground leads to smoother projects, better prefabrication, and fewer costly conflicts in the field. Dillon covers why clashes happen, how a qualified VDC team can eliminate them, and why getting all trades working in the same model is the key to clash-free construction. He wraps up with a simple but powerful reminder: a 30-minute conversation can get everyone aligned and moving in the right direction.

IMEG's mechanical engineering decarbonization efforts take center stage in this episode, the second in a three-part series on the firm's 2026 Whole Carbon Action Plan (WCAP). Guest Lindsey Chappelle, an IMEG senior sustainability & energy engineer, explains that the mechanical component of the plan aligns with MEP 2040, the industry-wide mechanical decarbonization initiative. “This is the MEP firms' commitment to be net zero operational carbon on projects by 2030 and net zero embodied carbon by 2040,” she says. “IMEG is a signatory of MEP 2040 and we have produced our mechanical plan, which has been incorporated into the Whole Carbon Action Plan.” As with the WCAP's structural and infrastructure initiatives, the plan lays out the goals, tasks, tools, and strategies for reducing and eventually eliminating operational carbon emissions (due to mechanical systems), embodied carbon of the mechanical equipment, and the carbon due to refrigerant leakage associated with certain HVAC systems. “Refrigerants are kind of weird. They don't really fall into embodied carbon or operational carbon,” Lindsey says. “They're kind of their own item.” Refrigerants, however, can have a sizeable impact. In one pilot project, leakage accounted for roughly 15% of total MEP-related carbon emissions. While the industry has a firm grasp on how to reduce operational carbon, mechanical engineers face challenges in getting the data needed to address embodied carbon. Among the causes are Revit models that don't include the number and brand of various types of equipment, and manufacturers who are slow to issue Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for mechanical equipment. These third-party documents, which Chappelle likens to “a nutritional facts label,” are essential for understanding the amount of embodied carbon in any piece of equipment. Unfortunately, as she points out, “a lot of vendors haven't even heard of an EPD.” To address this issue, IMEG and other firms aligned with MEP 2040 are strongly encouraging manufacturers to provide this information; some firms, including IMEG, are even signaling that future design specifications may require it. Meanwhile, IMEG has efforts underway to integrate design tools with available databases to provide real-time feedback. “Ideally in the future, this is going to be some kind of automated calculation,” Lindsey says, allowing engineers to immediately see the carbon implications of their design choices. Lindsey is excited to be helping to bring clarity to a once opaque aspect of building design. “There's always just been kind of a rule of thumb applied to the embodied carbon of MEP systems, and no one's taken the effort to calculate it. So it's exciting to just have the numbers and be able to back it up with reasonable resources and assumptions, see the overall carbon emissions related to a project, and then be able to make some great design decisions.” To learn more, listen to part one in this series or read IMEG's 2026 Whole Carbon Action Plan.
Every building you've ever been in was designed by software built in 1997.That's the headline a16z used to put the bat signal out to AEC founders — and Joe Schmidt got dragged for it on LinkedIn.But he's not a tourist.

What happens when you sit down with a lighting designer who's saving 90% of his time using AI—and ask him to show you exactly how he does it?In this episode of LytePOD, host Sam Koerbel travels to Dubai to sit down with Faraz Izhar, a lighting designer who has transformed his entire workflow using artificial intelligence—not as a replacement for creativity, but as a power tool that amplifies it. This isn't a conversation about theory or hype. It's a candid, deeply practical look at how AI is being used right now to create cinematic presentations, automate boring tasks, and unlock creative possibilities that simply weren't feasible six months ago.Faraz reveals why prompting is the new soft skill of the design era, why AI agents are already handling luminaire schedules and technical documentation, and why the best measure of success isn't the rendering—it's how fast you can iterate, explore, and communicate your vision to clients in ways that make them feel the project before it's built. He walks through the entire process: how he uses Midjourney to create custom mood images tied directly to project narratives, how Kling and Google Veo transform static renders into cinematic sequences that show transitions from dusk to night, and how Suno generates soundtracks that elevate presentations into immersive experiences.But this conversation goes deeper. It's about the tension between automation and intuition, the risk of cultural homogenization, and why the human element must remain at the forefront—even as machines learn faster than we ever imagined. Faraz shares why guardrails matter more than speed, why AI hallucinates and how to catch it, and why the industry needs to embrace this technology now—not because it's perfect, but because the designers who don't will be left behind.

If you've ever thought, “I can design a beautiful space, but commercial feels like a different language,” today's guest is here to change that. Marcy Sagel is the founder of DesignerBank and principal of MSA Interiors, with 25 years in commercial and multifamily interiors. She helps interior designers build practical skills in Revit, Enscape rendering, and large-scale space planning using real project workflows. In this conversation, you'll learn what truly separates residential from commercial, and how to level up fast withoutguessing.Commercial interior design can look mysterious from the outside, but once you understand the workflow, it becomes a realistic next step for residential designers who want bigger projects and a wider career runway. We sit down with Marcy Sagel, founder of MSA Interiors and Designer Bank, to unpack what actually changes when you move into multifamily and other large-scale commercial work, and what skills help you contribute fast without feeling overwhelmed.We get specific about the tools and the expectations. Marcy explains why so many commercial teams rely on Revit, how interior designers use it inside an architectural model, and why firms often require Revit proficiency before they hire. We also talk about the real payoff: stronger job placement, more opportunities across architecture and design firms, and the career leverage that comes from production-ready software skills. On top of that, we explore why rendering matters so much for client buy-in, plus how learning lighting, materials, and presentation techniques can make your ideas land faster.Then we zoom out to the business side of commercial interiors: working with big teams, staying aligned through schedules and phases, doing early space planning for amenities, and handling value engineering without sacrificing the look. Marcy also shares practical marketing and PR advice for designers who want to break into commercial work locally, often starting with the same residential clients who own businesses and need offices or facilities designed.If you're ready to expand your portfolio and design career, subscribe, share the episode with a designer friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.If you would like to get the links and show notes for this episode, click on the link below:https://designerbank.com/https://msainteriors.com/Transform your marketing with Designer Discussions Academy.

In this episode of Construction Corner, host Dillon tackles a common entrepreneurial trap: refusing to train your team because "it's faster to just do it myself." Drawing from a recent conversation with a fellow entrepreneur and his own experience managing a team at 25, Dillon makes a compelling case for why training is non-negotiable. He explains that investing a few hours upfront to teach someone a skill saves countless hours later, empowers your team, and prevents you from working 100-hour weeks forever. From teaching Revit basics to helping contractors open CAD files, Dillon shares practical examples of how giving people the right tools and training creates a more capable, grateful team—and frees you up to focus on growing the business. If you're hoarding knowledge or avoiding training, this episode is your wake-up call.

This episode is a reality check for anyone who thinks construction is just catching up to tech. It's not. Construction is now leading it.In this episode of KP Unpacked, KP Reddy and Nick make the case that design and construction have become the single most important constraint on technological progress. Data centers can't get built fast enough. Housing can't scale. Power generation is racing to keep pace. And for the first time in history, construction is facing technology-driven upgrade cycles, not aesthetic ones.But this isn't just macro. KP walks through live experiments with Claude Cowork and Claude Code: automating LinkedIn grooming, generating $7K in Substack revenue, replacing million-dollar consulting contracts, and sending 1,000 personalized emails in under an hour. The breakthrough? AI agents don't need APIs anymore. They're reading screens and controlling desktop applications, which means on-screen takeoff, Revit, and legacy construction software are suddenly vulnerable.Key topics covered:Why on-screen automation could kill 50+ construction tech startups in the next yearHow AI agents control your desktop by watching and clicking, not integrating via APIReal experiments: LinkedIn automation, competitive analysis, email campaigns, vibe modeling in ExcelWhy construction is the bottleneck for AI infrastructure, housing supply, and energy distributionThe shift from trickle-funding to big bets: why seed rounds should be $15–25M for real problemsHow to get surgical about ICP definition using AI-powered researchThe 48-hour email delay hack: protecting your time when automation makes you too efficientWhy sales-oriented, variable-comp businesses are ideal for AI leverage right nowIf you're a founder building in AEC, an investor trying to understand where capital should flow, or an operator wondering whether your software strategy is already obsolete, this episode will reframe how you think about the next five years.Listen now.BuildingWorks & Brookwood Sponsors

In this episode of Archispeak, we pull back the curtain on what modern practice actually feels like when AI, meetings, and the architecture grind all collide. We talk about coming back from travel feeling not three weeks behind but three months, calendars that look like Tetris played on hard mode, and what happens when you join a call and realize you're the only human in a grid full of AI note-takers. Cormac and Evan dig into how AI meeting companions, transcripts, and recordings change the way we think, remember, and take responsibility for decisions—and why it's getting harder to even know where the “real” record of a project lives when it's scattered across Zoom chats, email, Revit, and shared drives.From there, we zoom out to the bigger question: what this nonstop communication and tool-stack chaos is doing to actual design work, mentorship, and the next generation coming up inside firms. We wrestle with whether AI is really relieving the grind or quietly raising expectations so everyone is “on” all the time, and we talk honestly about boundaries, attention, and how to carve out space for deep work in the middle of the mess.-----Have a question for the hosts?

How do construction leaders make better decisions in a world overflowing with data? Recorded live at Autodesk University 2025, this conversation with Frank Phillips and Ashley Grassano from the University of Florida explores how curiosity, culture, and clear communication help teams turn raw information into meaningful action. Frank and Ashley share how the AEC industry can shift from reactive to proactive by embracing data literacy, asking better questions, and building trust between the field and the office. From forecasting risks to creating visibility across teams, this episode highlights how decision-making improves when people, process, and technology finally align. In this episode you'll learn: Why curiosity (not dashboards) is the real driver of innovation How data transparency builds trust across construction teams Practical steps for improving decision-making in fast-paced environments MEET OUR GUESTS Frank Phillips is Director of Business Affairs Technical Services at University of Florida, where he has over two decades of career experience. Ashely Grassano is Space & GIS Manager at the University of Florida. She manages a team of BIM Coordinators, Space Planners, and GIS Administrators. TODD TAKES Make Old Buildings Smarter, Not “Smart” A campus-wide push toward digital twins is turning legacy facilities into data-ready assets. The playbook: uplift Revit to a consistent minimum spec, link key MEP assets for location and maintenance, stream live data into Tandem, and anchor everything with GIS. It's practical, phased modernization—form meets function. Data Is an Asset—Treat It Like One Ownership and flow matter. From ACC adoption to Cost rollout, success comes from redefining processes (not lift-and-shift), onboarding project-by-project, and measuring wins by outcomes (like contractors getting paid). The ethos: the owner funds the work, the owner owns the data—and partners help operationalize it. Scan, Map, Connect—and Then Automate LiDAR for utilities and interiors, geospatially aligned campus models, ACC + Tandem integration, and emerging AI/API upgrades (including easier auth) are building a true “smart campus” foundation. Pair top-down sponsorship with bottom-up field buy-in, and you get faster finds at 2 a.m., fewer “unknowns,” and clearer ROI. MORE RESOURCES Thanks for listening!

How do we move AI from hype to helpful in civil and site design? Live from AU 2025, ISG's Jason Douglas shares how connected workflows across Forma, Revit, Civil 3D, and ACC are becoming real; why fast, responsive partners matter; and how Dynamo scripts eliminated version ping-pong to save time in production. We dig into training at scale, automation wins, and what it takes to keep multidisciplinary teams in sync. You'll learn: How connected workflows across Forma, Revit, Civil 3D, and ACC are breaking down data silos in AEC Why practical automation—like Dynamo scripting—creates real productivity gains for design teams What strong partnerships and responsive support mean for successful tech adoption How AI is shifting from hype to helpful through applied machine learning and predictive tools Ways to keep multidisciplinary teams aligned and trained as technology evolves Why communication and collaboration matter more than ever in achieving digital transformation MEET OUR GUEST Jason Douglas is a CAD Manager at ISG, with roots in civil design and a passion for practical tech. After starting in architectural drafting, he shifted to civil, became a go-to champion for software adoption, and now leads standards, support, and training across platforms like Civil 3D and ACC—lately extending automation with Dynamo to boost team efficiency. TODD TAKES Connected Workflows Are Becoming Real For years we've talked about connected construction as a vision. Now, with tools like Forma and Revit integrating more tightly with Civil 3D and ACC, we're seeing the walls between disciplines start to come down. This isn't theory anymore—it's the beginning of a truly unified way to design, build, and manage projects. Partnerships Drive Practical Innovation Innovation isn't just about software features; it's about the relationships and support that make technology adoption possible. The right partner listens, responds quickly, and helps translate tools into outcomes. That kind of support accelerates adoption and creates measurable productivity gains across teams. AI and Automation Need to Deliver Value AI has dominated headlines, but the real impact comes when it moves from hype to reality. Practical applications—whether through automation in ACC, Dynamo scripts in Civil 3D, or predictive insights—are what will change daily workflows. The key is building trust in the technology so it's seen as a time-saver, not a risk. More Resources Thanks for listening!
