Tyler and Eddie Campbell introduce Chris Wilocki and the topic of BIM on large-scale airport projects.

Chris Wilocki details the scope of the Denver International Airport concourse expansion, involving multiple gates and over a million square feet, highlighting logistical challenges.

Chris explains how Sturgeon Electric leveraged BIM to manage information, including partnering with Via Technic and developing a 'logistics box' program.

Chris discusses the complexities of implementing QR codes beyond just stickers and the impact of COVID-19 and numerous design changes on the project schedule.

Chris describes the 'big room' lean planning method used internally and the challenges of coordinating with two separate general contractors and engineering teams.

The hosts and Chris liken BIM implementation to the 'hold' command in Braveheart, emphasizing the difficulty and necessity of pausing for proper planning despite external pressures.

Chris's message to the construction industry is to prioritize educating field teams on technology to bridge the gap between BIM and on-site execution for greater productivity and safety.
