Bricks And Bytes

In this episode, we have the privilege of sitting down with digital construction visionary Mohamed Adel, the man behind Bird Construction's bold digital transformation. Hear him share his extraordinary stories on Dubai's towering sites - where lofty inspired designs clashed with ground realities of complex projects. We ask Mohamed if it's possible to transform old processes into digital workflows. He tells us how he envisions the future blurred between the virtual and the physical (construction). Tune in to hear Mohamed's story and explore a possible future where buildings rise faster, mistakes vanish, and the very language of construction is written in binary codes. He also addresses some fundamental questions: Can a single, open-source model become the ultimate collaboration tool, replacing siloed 2D drawings and endless email chains? Can AI build seamless bridges between different software, ending the era of clunky integrations? Does a future exist where the construction site is as intuitive as a video game, guided by the wisdom of real-time data? The proven 5-7 year roadmap for rolling out new technologies without disruption projects All this and more... ---------------------------------------- Mohammed Adel | Digital Construction Director at Bird Construction —------------------------------------- This episode is brought to you by Shft—helping contractors like you leverage BIM to secure a leading position in the race towards construction’s digital future.
