On this week’s episode, we have with us Jero Juujärvi who presently works as a BIM Coordinator for Kreate Oy in Finland. Kreate is one of Finland’s leading infrastructure builders with net sales of over 200 Million Euros in 2018. So they don’t just deal with buildings but infrastructure projects like roads, bridges and so on.
Jero hails from a background of game design & development. In this episode, Jero shares how he transitioned to BIM from the world of gaming, BIM for contractors, the BIM Scene in Finland, leveraging BIM for infrastructure projects & facilities management, the role of the government & building a central repository, BIM Standards in Europe, Virtual Reality, Drones, Robotics, Automation, Working remotely & BIM Utopia. This is a BIM packed episode and lots to learn from.
