BIMvoice
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 you’re 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 let’s explore the exciting world of BIM together!

On 11th of January Gavin Crump has published this article about "BIM Trends to watch in 2021", and I politely asked him if I could make a video about it, adding my own thoughts regarding it. He allowed me to do this, so thank you for that Gavin, and here is the result.
About Gavin Crump:
"Having worked in many architectural firms over the past 10 years as a BIM Manager, Gavin opened his BIM Consulting firm, BIM Guru at the start of 2020. Launching off the back of his YouTube efforts at the Aussie BIM Guru channel, his focus has shifted towards educating all levels of AEC professionals about software-based workflows, computational design, and how they can navigate the industry from a BIM perspective."
