#40 The Future of BIM is Bright (with Woody Dickinson)

December 13, 2022 • Caleffi North America, Inc. • Episode 40

Why should installers care about BIM (building information models)? Could BIM help you avoid working around other trades in a crowded chase? What efficiency gains are there with prefabrication? Can the files detect errors, before the product is even purchased? What is a digital twin?

In this episode, the guys are talking to Woody Dickinson. Woody knows Caleffi's technical details like the back of his hand. With BIM, he is able to take a career's worth of engineering knowledge and integrate it into three-dimensional construction files. While BIM is often only used to make sure everything will fit into a room, there is so much more. Hear how this technology is solving problems on drafting tables and in actual mechanical rooms.
