Panel Discussion: Connecting BIM With the Shop Through AI to Detect Errors Early & Prevent Costly Rework
2:30 pm
- Assessing how AI can detect inconsistencies between the model and expected material assemblies or product specs before fabrication
- Using AI to sort and process large data sets and establish intelligent group and standardization, such as duct sizes, cable types and valve counts
- Exploring how AI can analyze historical project data and flag recurring model issues to improve detailing quality and reduce rework risk

Case Study: Developing Our Process to Gain Accurate Design Specs Upfront, Preventing Rework in the Shop
1:45 pm
- Enforcing clear BIM scope, quality standards and timelines to prevent “design-as-you-go” approaches that undermine model quality and prefab schedules
- Achieving consistent, high-quality Revit families with strict adherence to LOD requirements to ensure data is clean, accurate and complete for prefab workflows
- Understanding how our teams use VR to enable early detection of modeling inconsistencies and coordination clashes
