171: ‘From Model to Machine’, with Brian Nickel and Brett Settles

Brian Nickel and Brett Settles join the podcast to talk about their latest work at the intersection of BIM and fabrication. We talk about the innovations the Allied BIM team have created that link design intent directly to the machines on the floor in the shop. Brian and Brett share their insights on the evolution of BIM technologies, the importance of user-friendly web-based platforms, and the role of training and VR in remote management. They discuss real-world applications, the skilled labor shortage, and the future of construction automation, making a compelling case for the transformative potential of their work.

Tune in to hear about how Allied BIM is bridging the gap between design intent and on-site execution, and learn about their vision for the future of the critical link between design and the trades.
