In this special series of the Smarter Building podcast, hosts Nicole & Richard sat down with a few of the fantastic line up of guest speakers live from Symetri's Nordic BIM Summit in Stockholm, Sweden.
Watch the second episode where we chat with Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) experts Àstridur Elin Àsgeirsdottir from Per Aarsleff A/S & Ingibjörg Birna Kjartansdóttir from Istak. Hear them delve into the importance of making VDC available to all and its impact on productivity and sustainability, their experiences with digital tech implementation on-site highlighting knowledge sharing, collaboration and end-user focus and why "laziness" is key for better, faster construction.
