Breaking BIM: Why It's Still Slow and How We Fix It 

Expect a candid and thought-provoking conversation that spans architecture, automation, collaboration, and the realities of digital delivery. Pierre shares why he stepped away from traditional practice to tackle persistent challenges in BIM - from messy point clouds to disconnected workflows - and what he’s learned about making digital tools more usable, scalable, and fit for purpose. The discussion offers practical ideas for anyone facing scan-to-BIM bottlenecks, grappling with data quality issues, or working to embed digital adoption in real project environments.

Topics covered:

• BIM that works (and where it doesn’t) – why common modelling workflows break down on-site, and what’s needed to fix them.
• Structured data over shiny models – how clear, usable information drives better decisions across the asset lifecycle.
• The case for lean modelling – why 'just enough' data can be more powerful than overbuilt geometry.
• Open standards, real impact – how IFC and openBIM support collaboration, longevity, and digital confidence.
• Bridging the gap between design and delivery – practical steps to align scan-to-BIM with real-world construction needs

For BIM to be truly effective, it needs to serve the realities of project delivery, not just design intent. This episode takes a clear-eyed look at what usable, efficient, and purpose-driven modelling really requires. Grounded in experience and shaped by practice, it’s a must-listen for anyone working to make digital delivery simpler, smarter, and more aligned with how teams actually build.
