What happens when you build an entire MEP model on bad assumptions? Chaos. đ
In this episode, Gary Cowan (Head of Digital Construction, Kane Group - Ireland/UK) shares a wild project story full of panic stations, rework, and hard-earned lessons that shaped his approach to BIM today.
From verifying the size of beams by hand, to managing full-cycle BIM with AR/VR and point clouds, Gary brings insight, humor, and some serious wisdom to the table. Plusâwe talk EDM, Revit plugins, and why being âthe DJ of digital constructionâ is the ultimate analogy.
If youâve ever hit clash after clash, fought bad data, or just needed a reminder to put your collar up and own your craftâyou donât want to miss this one.
