BIM in the Age of AI with Joachim Viktil | BIM Pure Live #091

Joachim Viktil is the CEO at Reope, a group of AEC digital consultants based in Oslo, Norway.

BIM is about converting something intangible to something tangible, ideas to design, and knowledge to utility.

AI is about finding patterns in data. Why does one supercharge the other? Joachim will teach you:

🤖 How can AI supercharge BIM
🤖 Leveraging generic data vs firm unique data
🤖 How to compete for work in the world of AI
🤖 Remaining relevant as an architect/engineer?

You will also learn about Reope's great work on Revit plugins, Open BIM, and interoperability.

Unclear to me in the presentation how/if their tools actually implement AI. Whilst I understand competitive edge is risky to share it felt a bit out of sync with the episode focus, and felt like a veiled marketing pitch... I respect Reope and Anker, but I do notice their presentations tend to devolve into a marketing funnel.

Regarding sync of information with the “radar” tool, what option would be to sync when the computer is inactive for 2-5 mins. KINSHIP does that to sync the information of which families are in a model.
