BIM Lessons From An Autodesk Expert Elite with Gary Cowan
Avoiding 'AI Bluffers' and Misinformation in Construction
Show notes
We recently sat down with Gary Cowan, Head of Digital Construction at Kane Group and member of the Autodesk Expert Elite, to talk about his twenty-year journey in the industry. He shared how he applies a manufacturing mindset to MEP delivery, using DfMA to turn construction sites into assembly yards. We discussed his passion for insanely high LOD models that drive accurate digital take-offs and his use of the technology to maintain a live source of truth between the office and the site. Gary also delivered a blunt warning against AI bluffers, stressing that emerging tools are only useful if you have the technical knowledge to know when the machine is telling lies. If you are ready to stop cutting corners and start building with real success, this is the episode for you.
