From 2D to Digital Twins The Future of Digital Engineering is here With Sameer Ramgoolam

In this episode of the Blueprints to Buildings podcast, host Glen Palmer is joined by Sameer Ramgoolam, Director of Smart Build Engineering, to explore how digital engineering, Open BIM collaboration, and AI-driven design are transforming the construction industry. Sameer shares insights into Construction 4.0, the shift from traditional 2D documentation to intelligent 3D models, and how digital twins, prefab construction, and AI are reshaping how projects are designed, coordinated, and delivered. The conversation also dives into paperless construction, early engineering involvement, and why BIM models are becoming powerful commercial tools for developers and contractors alike. Whether you’re a developer, engineer, investor, or property professional, this episode offers a clear look at where construction is heading over the next decade. Topics covered: Construction 4.0 and AI-driven engineering Open BIM and single source of truth modelling Digital twins and interactive walkthroughs Prefabrication and modular construction trends Paperless construction and cloud collaboration Using BIM as a commercial and sales tool Connect with Sameer Ramgoolam LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sameerramgoolam/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sameerramgoolam/ This episode is supported by Meta-Dology — a visualisation methodology helping developers, investors, and project teams communicate ideas clearly using immersive 3D walkthroughs and digital twins before construction begins.
