In this episode of Stirring the Pot we’re having a kōrero with Robert Amor.

Robert Amor, Emerging Technologies Project Lead for HERA’s Construction 4.0 research, breaks down BIM as both a detailed model and a collaborative process. Discover how BIM’s data capabilities go beyond geometry to improve safety, heritage preservation, and cost management.

We explore the challenges of BIM implementation, such as data standardisation and ownership, with real-world insights from the University of Auckland. Finally, we look at BIM’s evolution and its integration with AI, VR, AR, and other emerging technologies, highlighting how these advancements can propel Construction 4.0 in New Zealand.
