In this episode of the Digital Construction Podcast, host Andrea interviews Michael Alder, an experienced leader in Reality Capture at Arup. Michael explains that reality capture includes technologies like laser scanning, photogrammetry, and 360-degree imaging, all of which help improve site documentation and reduce errors in construction. He highlights how reality capture has replaced traditional hand-measuring methods with precise 3D models, improving coordination between teams and ensuring that

In this episode of the Digital Construction Podcast, Andrea interviews Bryan, a principal digital engineer at Arcadis, about the intersection of BIM and asset management. Bryan shares his career journey, starting as a structural engineer in Singapore before moving to Australia, where he worked on major infrastructure projects and eventually transitioned into digital engineering leadership. Andrea and Bryan discuss how BIM is traditionally used in design and construction but holds valuable data that

In the podcast episode The State of BIM in 2025, Rishi Jobanputra and Andrea Ciaffi discuss the evolution and future of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its role in digital engineering. Rishi opens by suggesting that transitioning to producing models without drawings would be a transformative shift, reducing time spent on documentation and improving quality. He emphasizes that BIM should no longer be considered a mere output but rather a discipline integral to digital engineering. Andrea
