Most construction companies think they're using BIM. They're not. And it's costing them 20% on every project.

In this episode of Bricks & Bytes, Owen sits down with Dave from Procore's BIM team and Tore Hovland, founder of NovaRender (recently acquired by Procore), to unpack what's really happening in the BIM space and why two major acquisitions just changed the game.

Key topics discussed:

Why BIM adoption is actually 20-30%, not the 70% everyone claims
The hidden 2GB browser limit killing your ability to view large models
How building from 2D vs 3D vs full BIM changes cost overruns from 20% to 5%
Why Procore spent millions acquiring NovaRender and Flypaper simultaneously
The streaming technology that lets you open 50-mile infrastructure projects in seconds
What 80% of acquisitions fail and why culture matters more than tech
The future where construction happens without drawings

"Where we're going, there are no drawings. You could actually build off the model. It could actually be the permit that goes out." - Dave, Procore

If you've ever wondered why your BIM models won't load, why projects keep going over budget, or what the hell is actually happening with construction technology right now, this episode breaks it all down.
