This week on the Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇåion Record podcast digital media editor Warren Frey speaks with BIM One BIM/VDC solutions director Scott Chatterton about how building information modeling (BIM) and wood building design can work together in future.
Chatterton pointed out that wood is an ideal material in an industry where modularization, prefabrication and off-site construction is increasing at a rapid pace. BIMOne and SCIUS Advisory have developed which focuses on sustainable and modern methods of construction including wood technology.
He also noted that wood’s greatest benefit is carbon capture and not only is this a benefit in deconstruction but when reusing wood material for new structures. Wood buildings also tend to have longer lifespans making them even more sustainable, he noted.
