On this episode of BIM After Dark Live I am going to run through the tools, processes, and lessons learned from my experience as both the Architect and General Contractor while designing and building the BIM After Dark studio home office. If you’re using Autodesk Revit as a residential architect or wondering how this “BIM thing” could actually help as a small scale residential contractor this episode is for you! Plus, the story contains an interesting storyline with an unexpected deadline. 🙂
So sit back, relax, and let’s geek out!
