René van Zwijndrecht

Head of BIM, EPR Architects
 https://www.epr.co.uk/

As the front line representative for EPR on BIM and Digital Construction Workflows, René “preaches” BIM every day – both internally and to clients and other consultants alike.

René has previously spoken at London Build two years in a row, as well as at Autodesk University London this year.

With over 5 years’ experience heading up adoption of BIM and Digital workflows, he has seen how the industry has both moved forward and regressed in some parts. He does not look at BIM from just a ‘by the book perspective’; he believes we are missing the basics, with actual ‘on the ground’ issues preventing the move to an all-inclusive industry where digital workflows are business as usual.

René has taken EPR from an office with 30 Revit® users and a few projects to over a 120-user office with all its projects in digital workflows, including all stages of project delivery.

    27 February

  • 15:45  - 16:30
    As early adopters in Digital Construction Workflows, EPR has managed to bridge the gap between traditional workflows, expectations and new digital construction workflows. As Digital Design Tech Team, in conjunction with the Architectural teams, EPR has managed to develop ways to drive the collaboration using data. The harnessing of data can whitewash what is most important, so correct visualisation of the relevant data has become key to drive the collaboration processes. In this session, René and Jędrzej will discuss how the traditional 2D processes creates a “tunnel” vision and is not aligned with working in a 3D digital world. 2D deliverables have created an embedded linear approach to production of construction projects. However, in a 3D world this is not realistic. Deliverables in the Digital Construction space is often a free-form dance, adjusting to the most relevant input needed to construct a volumetric puzzle.
