0:44 Amy Peck introduces the CEO of BIM Designs, Inc., Mark Oden.
6:56 So, looking at a lot of the work do, there's a breadth of services that you cover that align with where technology is going, but you still make it accessible today. Can you talk a little bit about that and how are you future-proofing your services?
10:30 And I love that you mentioned AI. Can you talk about doing the tedious work on iteration, where the human factor is always going to be a necessary component?
15:06 You're really looking to centralize the standards around BIM designs, and that's one the challenges for contractors, so how you combatting that?
17:20 One of the challenges with future technology with things like AR and VR, is that they're reliant on the user. How difficult is it to bring technology on site, and are you finding an acceptance for it, or does run the gamut, and where's that balance?
25:42 In the future, 20, 30, 40 years from now, personally what would be your dream piece of technology, what would it be and what would it do?
