Clash detection is a symptom, not a fix. Inside BIM coordination rules, ISO 19650 in the real world, and AI that turns clashes into cost.

There's no magic scan-to-BIM button. This episode covers reality capture, digital twins and where AI actually helps turn scans into decisions.
Reality capture has quietly moved from a specialist niche to something running behind thousands of construction projects. Yet most teams still struggle to answer a deceptively simple question: does what we actually built match what we designed? Getting that answer fast, and sharing it wit...
Why great engineers struggle as leaders: digital engineering, culture and scaling BIM teams without losing what makes them work.
What does it take to move from writing code to leading the people who do? For most technical professionals in construction, the promotion into leadership is the hardest transition of their career and almost nobody prepares them for it.

In construction tech, selling is really consulting. How BIM software adoption, trust and AI are reshaping construction technology sales.
Construction has a complicated relationship with the word "sales." In an industry built around engineers, architects, and BIM managers, the salesperson is often the most misunderstood person in the room and yet adoption, trust, and whether good technology actually reaches the field depend on ge...
Why open standards and structured data decide whether AI in construction delivers results or scales your mistakes. BIM, IFC and vendor lock-in.
AI is only as good as the data it's given, and construction has spent decades producing fragmented, ungoverned information.
In this episode, we sit down with Eric Bugeja, Chairperson of buildingSMART Australasia, board member at buildingSMART International, and founder of consulting ...
After 27 years in BIM, why the digital twin flopped while the common data environment quietly reshaped digital construction and AI workflows.
Every few years, the construction industry is told a new technology will change everything. Some do. Most don't. The harder skill isn't spotting the hype, it's knowing which shift is actually worth your time.
In this episode, Dhanjeet Sah, Studio BIM Manager at FK Architects, draws on 2...
Five AI predictions for construction: why the point-solution app store dies, agentic automation takes over, and per-seat pricing ends.

Rework eats 5 to 10 percent of every construction budget. On a 100-million-dollar project, that is 5 to 10 million dollars of waste no one planned for, and most of it is not a modelling failure, it is a translation failure between the BIM model and the people building from it.
This conversation looks at what fills that gap. Caner Dolas, CEO and co-founder of Gamma AR, has spent the last six years building the augmented reality l...
In this conversation, Bryan Tay, Director at Pivodel, and Dean Sherwell, Manager Commercial Sales and Partnerships at TAFE Queensland, discuss how they spent the last twelve months building Australia's first nationally accredited Advanced Diploma of Digital Engineering.
The episode looks at why a recognised pathway has been missing, and what changes when one finally exists.
The discussion covers the hidden cost of fragmented lea...

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
