BIM is a Complete Game-Changer

Bridging the Gap: Insights & Innovations in Construction

What if you could switch from a 43% success rate to 98.9%? And what if that switch was as simple as adopting BIM? Join Todd and guest Brian Chapman as they discuss the evolution of construction innovation, particularly when it comes to Building Information Modeling (BIM). Brian has extensive experience in the construction industry, and he emphasizes that BIM is not just for large projects but can be beneficial for all sizes.

Brian Chapman is Founder of Lunix3D, a consulting firm specializing in ArchViz, BIM, and 3D Modeling. With over 25 years of experience, Brian’s journey into the construction industry began as a CAD specialist for AFS Fire, ensuring clash-free projects in a pre-BIM era. He then progressed to programming CAD applications and, later, creating 3D models for prominent multi-family developers and engineering firms. Brian expanded his expertise by serving as an on-site project engineer, and then as a project manager, on various multi-family projects. Recognizing the demand for BIM and 3D visualization services that truly address the challenges and requirements of the field, Brian founded Lunix3D to bridge the gap between cutting-edge tools and practical solutions. With a diverse background blending hands-on experience and technical expertise, Brian brings a unique perspective and unmatched insight to 3D technology application and coordination.

TODD TAKES

1. Communication and Willingness to Learn: Good communication and a mindset open to learning are the cornerstones of embracing a BIM workflow. Success often comes from teams willing to adapt and collaborate as they navigate new processes together.
2. Building Buy-In with Leadership and Teams: When gaining buy-in for BIM, it’s all about speaking the language of your audience. Tailor the conversation to showcase the ROI in ways that resonate with decision-makers, whether that’s time savings, cost reductions, or increased efficiency.
3. The Speed of Trust: I love the phrase “the speed of trust.” When you complete a project successfully while fostering strong relationships, it builds credibility. That trust creates momentum, acting as a snowball for future growth and collaboration.
