SHOBHIT BAADKAR: It depends on what their needs are, of course. We get a lot of teaming companies where the firm our client is working with is already using Revit and needs help catching up. On the contractor side, we get a lot of trade contractors that need help with technology. Tey’ve checked the box (on the bid form) that said they have BIM capability, because they don’t want to lose the job by saying no. Ten, when they get the job, they call us. We make the process as seamless as possible. We help them build the 3D model, make sure the model works, then deliver that BIM model with the accom- panying shop drawing so then the team can go out and install it in the field. CALIFORNIA CONSTRUCTOR: As a long-time BIM expert, you’ve seen the many ways it has evolved over the years. What changes are you expecting to see over the next decade or so in BIM and how companies use it? SHOBHIT BAADKAR: It’s going to con- tinue to mature. People are going to use it without saying they’re using it. A lot of cus- tomers, even when they don’t have a BIM requirement, use it for drawing production. Revit helps them produce drawings faster

and reduces quality assurance time. For example, you don’t have to go and count all the doors or make sure the doors on the building plan match the schedule, because that’s all automated in BIM. Te other thing you’re going to see
with BIM is that people are going to start using AI to do renderings quicker and faster, linking the model to the schedule (4D BIM). And then 5D cost estimat- ing, right? Everyone in this economy is cost-conscious. A lot of calls that we’ve been getting recently relate to how we
can reduce the cost or better predict our costs. Tat’s where we have a data science tool called Constructalytica that basically handles all the analytics around cost, scheduling, and clash detection. CALIFORNIA CONSTRUCTOR: Tell me about how and why you decided to launch BIMpulse two years ago, and how is it affiliated with TITAN AEC? SHOBHIT BAADKAR: We officially launched BIMpulse in April 2024, and it is completely separate from TITAN AEC. We came up with BIMpulse because
