149: Transforming the Seattle Skyline

Philip Bergsieker, a BIM and VDC professional at Hoffman Construction, joins us on this episode 149 of the Art of Construction.  This episode marks our second in a series of six shows we are doing leading up to Digital Built Week in Seattle next month. Our first one was with Mac Little, which you can listen to here. Philip will be speaking at Digital Built Week about his work with Hoffman Construction remodeling several iconic buildings in Seattle (including the Space Needle), and the intricate and complex processes and tools used to make these projects happen.  Join us as we discuss Philip’s journey into the BIM and VDC world and run through some case studies that perfectly illustrate the need for contractors to be creative and implement new technologies as large scale construction projects continue becoming more high-stakes than ever before.Links:Digital Built Week Digital Built Environment Institute: A New EraHoffman Construction The Space Needle: Remaking an Icon Experience Music Project (MoPop) American Contractors Insurance Group
