In the September episode of DBIA’s Design-Build Delivers podcast Brian Skripac, the Director of Virtual Design + Construction at CannonDesign, speaks with us about the need for new project tools to help collaborative teams share vital information, and how BIM helps fuel design-build’s collaboration and innovation.
