For decades, the design community has dreamed of a seamless link between BIM models and specifications-but the reality has been a patchwork of partial integrations, failed pilots, and over-promised automation. In this session, we’ll explore why earlier “BIM-to-Spec” attempts fell short, and how AI-assisted coordination tools may finally deliver meaningful progress. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of what true coordination looks like-one that keeps architects, engineers, and specifiers in control, while allowing AI to eliminate redundant effort, reduce risk, and improve data consistency across the design-to-documentation process. Save your spot now! What You’ll Learn By the end of the session, attendees will: ✅ Understand why past BIM-Spec automation efforts failed-and what’s different this time ✅ Be able to apply the Gartner Hype Curve to evaluate new design technologies and investments ✅ Recognize that coordination, not automation, is the attainable goal ✅ Learn how AI c...

  The Hidden Cost of Poor Trade Sequencing You’re halfway through the project, and suddenly, ductwork clashes with structural steel. The plumber’s already installed the pipes. The GC is furious. Sound familiar? This scenario plays out far too often in small to mid-sized MEP firms, where poor trade sequencing during coordination leads to last-minute changes, field rework, and costly delays. These aren’t just minor hiccups; for every project where sequencing is ignored or mismanaged, MEP contractors can lose up to $50,000 per project due to: Labor hours spent on rework Material waste from misfabrication Crew downtime waiting for resolution Penalties from missed deadlines The frustrating part? These losses are preventable. In this article, we’ll break down what trade sequencing really means in the context of MEP coordination, the key missteps that lead to coordination breakdowns, and how leading MEP teams are resolving it with smarter workflows, not bigger teams. Let’s dissect the mis...
