    Not Just CAD! #0010 - Maret Thatcher

    Maret Thatcher, the visionary Chief Executive Officer of Argyle, a dynamic force in the construction industry's digital evolution. Originally born into the world of construction Maret left her role as an attorney, after seven years in the legal landscape. The allure of construction drew her back when the potential of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Augmented Reality (AR) to minimise rework became apparent. At the helm of Argyle, Maret is a trailblazer, propelling BIM and AR to new heights for construction fieldworkers. Her mission revolves around overcoming file size limitations, achieving precise site alignment, and ensuring that every member on the construction site gains maximum Return on Investment (ROI) from their BIM. Maret's days are dedicated to demystifying the potential of BIM on-site, guiding professionals on how to harness its power to transform their construction projects. As a third generation "Construction Kid," Maret's childhood was woven into the fabric of construction sites, growing up near job sites and financing her law school education. Her unique journey led her to represent both seasoned construction companies and vibrant legal characters. However, it was the sudden appearance of holograms that marked the turning point, drawing her back to construction as she embraced the possibilities of spatial computing. Maret Thatcher stands as a pioneering figure, spearheading the integration of spatial computing in the construction industry. Her leadership at Argyle exemplifies a commitment to innovation, pushing boundaries, and revolutionizing how construction professionals interact with technology on-site.
