One Model to Rule Them All: How BIM With AI Will Reshape Design & Construction w/ Kevin Carroll

Send us Fan MailIn this jam-packed episode of The Altered Perception, we explore the dynamic world of Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Kevin Carroll, the BIM Director at MKA and a seasoned architect who’s been working in the industry since the late ’80s. Kevin breaks down what BIM really is—beyond just lines and layers—and explains how “drawing once” can save firms enormous amounts of time and resources. He recounts how he transitioned from pen-and-paper drafting to early 3D modeling and quickly became a fervent advocate of digital workflows.You will get an insider’s look at how BIM shapes modern construction projects, the crucial role of collaboration among architects, engineers, and contractors, and how IPD (Integrated Project Delivery) aims to cut through the red tape (and lawsuits) by bringing everyone together in one “big room.” Plus, Kevin takes a peek into the not-so-distant future where AI and machine learning could supercharge everything from annotation to generative design. Whether it’s streamlining repetitive tasks or offering real-time clash detection, AI stands poised to make the leap from hype to a day-to-day reality.If you’re ready to discover how the construction industry is rapidly transforming—and how AI is set to push its evolution even further—then this episode is a can’t-miss. Kevin’s decades of experience and passion for “drawing it once, building it right” offer invaluable insights for architects, contractors, coders, and anyone curious about the next frontier in the built environment.https://www.instagram.com/the_altered_perception/?next=%2F
