In this episode of Brewing with BIM we explore the emerging importance data in construction. There are many forms of data in construction ranging from design data, project data, and even data that goes beyond a single project. As we move into these common data environments it's important to utilize tools to view across a single CDE and into financials, safety, risk, etc. We have tools at our disposal to aggregate, analyze, and even share this data. However, we need to emphasize the importance of the roles and related tools. If you are curious about the data on your project or in your design, this is a great starter episode as we dive further into the world of data in future episodes.

Hey BWB Fans,
It’s hard to believe but this was our 50th episode and what an episode it was. For the big 5-0 we got to talk tech with a man who has been behind the scenes of some of the major technology transitions in the AEC industry. Of course I am talking about none other than Chris Ruffo.
Like most of us in AEC tech, Chris’s path into the industry was somewhat untraditional. Chris’s path began with Alias. That name should sound familiar to all in the AEC tech space as they were acquired by Autodesk. Alias had a number of applications but they were becoming known by Architects for their visualization tool, Maya.
After the acquisition Chris worked for Autodesk focusing on the Forge platform. For those unfamiliar with Forge- Forge is a series of APIs that allow for the pushing, pulling. analyzing, dissecting, manipulating, and aggregating of data. These APIs are ever growing and make up the core of Autodesk’s Construction Cloud. Forge allows users to create their own automations and tie into existing systems. For example, JE Dunn tied theirs to a customized inhouse estimation database to help accelerate the preconstruction phase.
As for Chris, his future only got brighter. After Forge, he spent some time at Epic Games before landing at Lenovo. Lenovo has literally been powering the AEC industry. Their partnerships with chip makers as well as their focus on customer driven development is spurring new innovations that will enable the future of the AEC industry.

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.

When we did our first Better You Better BIM episode we were expecting life to get back to normal after a few months. Now that we are nearly 6 months into COVID with no end in sight we thought now might be a good time to revisit some resources for leveling up your BIM game, staying sane, or to just learn something new.

Hey BWB Fans, In this episode we get to chat with OG Civil 3D guru Rob Gadbaw. Rob is literally known all around the world for for his work in Civil 3D, CAD software development, and with iConstruct. Rob's development of KobiLabs plugins for AutoCAD, Revit, and Civil 3D has not gone unnoticed. KobiLabs was featured in the July 2020 edition of AUGIWorld. Rob's team has a unique development methodology where they don't look at what other people are developing for ideas but instead listen to customers feedback to build the next tool or improve on old workflows. It's no wonder Rob garnered a name for his development. His work as Client Success Manager for the US at iConstruct is nothing short of amazing. Their export packages are world renowned as well as their clash tools. Check out this podcast to find out more about Rob and his amazing work.

Hey BWB Fans,
In this episode we discuss something all Revit designers and drafters can not live without, Revit plugins. Whether you are wanting to export to AR/VR platforms, simply looking for a faster way to work, or are wanting to push Revit past its limits - you are sure to find a plugin that fits your needs. Check out this episode of Brewing With BIM as we highlight a few of our favorite and our customers most utilized plugins. Don't worry, we dive down random tangents such as mattress shopping and road trips all while enjoying some sweet nectar (beer).

Hey BWB Fans, In this episode we discuss a presentation David put together for the Bluebeam XCON that never was. We touch on the topic of AWP that we hope to cover in more depth next week. All while drinking great beers. David is double fisting whiskey and a Leinenkugel while Joey enjoys the New Belgium mix pack.

Hey Everyone, In this episode we talk about.. wait for it......NOTHING. Well at least nothing of particular importance. We focus primarily on discussions around brewing and beer. We have a new brew setup that we are piecing together and hope to have ready for the 4th of July. We discuss various brew methods and home brew components. We save time to also discuss AU 2020 as the brains of our operation has submitted some topics for sessions. As always we drink great beer and go on long tangents. David drank the most expensive mix 6 pack known to man...spoiler alert, he did not enjoy all of it.

In this episode of Brewing with BIM we discuss the importance of communication. We focus primarily on the field to office and vice versa. Being an expert at modeling doesn't mean you are an expert at construct-ability and installation. The same is true for inverse. Good communication is a great way to learn. Using platforms like BIM 360, PlanGrid, Bluebeam, etc allow the office to share updated drawings while providing tools for communication and review for the field teams to correct and educate. As always we review alcohol we are drinking and get lost on many tangents.

In this episode of Brewing With BIM, we discuss benefits in the scan to BIM workflows as well as pain point. It is important to understand how the data will be used and the deliverable down stream. We also find time to get side tracked and fall into tangents about kids, cars, home projects, and believe it or not wrestling. Just one of the many side effects when doing a podcast while drinking.

In this episode we chat with David Kortekaas of BIM Synergistics. David is a master at coordination working on behalf of owners and contractors. He approaches coordination with an approach that is both lean and collaborative. By using an integrative coordination process he ensures all stakeholders have up to date models and supporting information. In addition his approach limits the need for RFIs (Make sure you check out his miniseries on the death of RFIs).

In this episode we give an overview of the legendary BIM software, Revit. Revit is often synonymous when someone talks about BIM software. When we talk about BIM processes with people their natural response is we are/aren't using Revit. You'll hear us give reasons for why that is as well talk about concepts such as the MacLeamy Curve for BIM adoption, collaboration, and yes even clash detection. Fear not fellow beer snobs, we make plenty of time to drink!

In this episode we discuss, you guessed it, beer...and other stuff. We highlight an important tool called Bluebeam for those wanting leverage design data downstream that have no place in a design application. This simple yet robust tool allows users to leverage the plan sets they are used to in a digital environment. For those of you new to Bluebeam this is an important episode as we highlight history, functionality, cost of adoption, workflows, and for you pro users out their we highlight some advanced tips and uses. If you aren't familiar with this tool I suggest you do some investigative research to see if it can help your firm streamline workflows and processes.

But we also talk about cool technology, whine about working in the cold, combating the cold with technology, and most importantly - what we want from the big guy. No, not the big guy in sky but the big red guy. I think the consensus is we want really cool technology to have at home to play with. The problem is, neither one of us is on the nice list.
