Chairman’s WelcomeChris Needham, WSPKeynote AddressJeff Schwisow, jeffschwisow.comForget Excel Sheets and Develop a Fully Automated Door Schedules Workflow in Revit using advanced family creation techniques, key schedules, and DynamoBassem Assad, Department of TransportConstruction, Operations and Maintenance, Pre-Design, DesignBILTChange Management, General, ArchitectureAutodesk
Synopsis:
I am planning to present the work that Guymer Bailey took to fully automate the Door schedules for our correction and health projects. This will go through how to create advanced parametric Door families with nested families and formulas to drive the door selections, and the workflows we developed using Dynamo and Revit Key Schedules in order to fully automate the process. This process saved us huge amounts of time, and would like to share that.
Jake Nash, Warren and MahoneyDesign, ConstructionBILTBusiness Strategy and LeadershipNon Vendor SpecificSynopsis:
Technology is only as powerful as those using it, and personal technological development is never-ending.
Jake Nash, of Warren and Mahoney, has spent the last five years taking a more personal approach to staff development, in an effort to increase user engagement with technology with excellent results.
Zaki Mallasi, Hickok Cole ArchitectsPre-Design, DesignBILTArchitecture, Business Strategy and Leadership, Coding and Customisation, Computational Design, VisualisationAutodeskSynopsis:
Conceptually laying out apartment units in housing projects require plenty of setup time in Revit and is a tedious process. This presentation demonstrates how Dynamo and Revit help designers navigate and plan apartment units’ layout. We will learn how to take sketch-like Revit elements of a design concept and generate a suitable apartment plan layout. We will define parametric relationships between these elements like building shape, units types, sizes, mix area limit, setbacks, etc.
Milton Walters, OpenSpaceOpenSpace Case Study
Synopsis:
Construction is one of the oldest professions as humans have been building shelters for various purposes for millennia. It is also one of the most capital-intensive industries. The industry has evolved quite a fair bit in ways like design, plan, build and maintain. For decades, technology has been deployed in construction to make tasks more efficient and construction projects safer.
How technology like AI can help with creating values and benefits in the construction industry and changing the landscape of the industry now and future?
In this class, we will explore the various benefits of Artificial intelligence (AI) into the various stages of the construction process, and how it is changing the landscape of this millennia-old industry in terms of mitigation risk, increasing Construction Productivity, and other labor-related concern like labor shortage and safety.
Karl Fitzpatrick, Auckland AirportOperations and MaintenanceBILTOperations and Maintenance, Data Management, Project ManagementOther VendorSynopsis:
This session will explore the role of Digital Built Environment in Asset Management.
Karl Fitzpatrick from Auckland International Airport Limited (AIAL) will give an insight into the role that dRofus is playing in the evolution of information management at the Airport.
As digital assets are created, many owners are seeing issues in a proliferation GIS and BIM modelled data as well as huge amounts of file-based information.
Karl will explain how AIAL are aiming to resolve this via the use of dRofus as a “data normalisation hub” with the ultimate aim of a fully connected Built Asset Information Management System.
As an owner wanting to manage assets with model/file overload this presentation is a “how to guide” to see the wood from the trees on creating consistent data on your buildings.
In summary we will aim to show what is AIAL’s vision? Why is this important? How do we get there? What does this enable for the digitization of AIAL?”
Paul Wintour, Parametric MonkeyNot ApplicableBILTChange Management, Business Strategy and LeadershipNon Vendor SpecificSynopsis:

Welcome address Keynote Address: Making Space for Leadership – An Alternative Digital Twin for the Future of WorkMark Bray, Founder - Make One's Mark
Synopsis:
Have you ever thought about how a Digital Twin could support the success of your business? Not as a building owner or operator – but any business?
Not only are ‘Digital Twins” being created of buildings, organisations can also have Digital Twins. Data is collected about processes and systems within a business, modelled and measured using data around teams behaviors. What if we could combined these Digital Twins to create a simulation of the spaces we work in – before they are designed?
Mark will discuss and question how near real time data analysis could change the way we work, the way we ‘value’ the spaces we work in and even the way property is procured.

Our initial vision was simple but grounded in tested workflows:
– IFC file sharing with consultants
– Federating consultant models in Solibri for clashes detection.
– Setting up rules and Reporting the clashes to the PM and Consultant groupDaniel Lea, Level Crossing Removal ProjectConstruction, Pre-Design, DesignBILTChange Management, Construction, General, Business Strategy and Leadership, Infrastructure, Project ManagementNon Vendor SpecificSynopsis:
