Welcome to BIMvoice, the podcast that provides a platform for Building Information Modeling (BIM) professionals to share their perspectives and insights on the industry. In this podcast, we cover a wide range of topics related to BIM, including its applications in architecture, engineering, and construction, as well as the latest trends and challenges facing the industry. One of the key topics we focus on is OpenBIM, a platform-independent approach to BIM that enables seamless collaboration and data exchange among different stakeholders. We believe that OpenBIM is revolutionizing the AEC industry and has the potential to transform the way we design, construct, and operate buildings. Through our conversations with experts in the field, including architects, engineers, and software developers, we explore the benefits of using OpenBIM, including interoperability, flexibility, and data exchange. We also discuss the challenges of implementing OpenBIM and how organizations can overcome them. Our guests share their personal experiences with OpenBIM tools like IFC, BCF, IDS, and provide insights on how OpenBIM is improving collaboration among different disciplines, increasing efficiency, and reducing errors and rework. We also discuss the latest developments in OpenBIM technology and how it is being used in real-world projects. Whether youre an architect, engineer, contractor, or software developer, BIMvoice provides you with valuable insights and practical tips to help you get the most out of BIM and OpenBIM. So, join us for our next episode and lets explore the exciting world of BIM together! Language: en Genres: Business, Careers, Technology Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

OpenBIM from the Contractor’s Perspective with Daniel Phillips | openBIMvoice 02 In the second episode of openBIMvoice, I talk with Daniel Phillips about how openBIM is actually being used on the ground by general contractors. We dig into how the industry is changing in 2026 and what is actually working. Daniel shares how he uses open source tools like Bonsai BIM and Python to fix model loopholes and handle missing information. If you have ever struggled with model maturity or wondered how to bridge the gap between design office and construction site, this conversation will help. What we discuss: The contractor perspective. Why openBIM is a crucial tool for controlling project delivery and quality. Bonsai BIM and Python. How Daniel uses open source software and AI to fix IFC models faster than native tools. The IDS dream. Why Information Delivery Specification is the key to getting instant feedback on project requirements. Structural success in Norway. Why reinforcement models are currently the state of the art in the industry. Model based construction. The honest truth about why paper drawings still exist on site and how we move forward.
