    BUCK FIM - S2 E4 - Stjepan Mikulic, AI in AEC

    On Season 2 Episode 4 of BUCK FIM, we're stepping back from the endless stream of AI announcements to ask a much bigger question. How do you make sense of an industry where hundreds of new AI tools appear every month, everyone claims to be the future, and nobody can agree on what actually delivers value? To unpack that, I sat down with Stjepan Mikulić, Founder of AI in AEC and Neostack, for a conversation about what happens when your job becomes mapping the entire AI ecosystem instead of chasing the next shiny tool. This wasn't a product demo. It was a conversation about patterns, people, and the future of our industry. We get into: The AI Explosion: What it's like trying to keep up with one of the fastest-moving technology landscapes the AECO industry has ever seen. Signal vs. Noise: Why finding AI tools is no longer the problem. Knowing which ones actually matter is. The Human Side of AI: Why technology isn't the hardest part of adoption. People, trust, and behaviour still determine whether innovation succeeds or dies. Building Order from Chaos: What happens when you attempt to organize an entire ecosystem of AI products into something the industry can actually navigate. The Fun Stuff: We also step away from construction for a while. We talk about travel, airports, AI mishaps, personal habits, and a few questions you definitely won't hear on your average technology podcast. If you've ever wondered where AI in AECO is actually heading, beyond the marketing headlines and LinkedIn hype, this episode is for you. 👉 Episode drops July 14.

    BUCK FIM - S2 - Episode 2 - Jeffrey McGrew w/ Motif

    Is BIM a single source of truth, or just a beautiful lie? Everyone says the AECO industry is undergoing a digital transformation. We’ve got AI agents, new platforms, and massive cloud ecosystems. Yet, billion-dollar projects are still quietly running on spreadsheets, screenshots, and frantic phone calls. Why do the same friction points survive every single generation of software? On Season 2 Episode 2 of Buck Fim, we are tearing down the pitch decks and digging into the messy reality where software collides with human behavior. To unpack this, I sat down with Jeffrey McGrew, Architect, Builder, and Senior Product Manager at motif, alongside a surprise CODiii Crossfire appearance by Jillian Northrup. We didn’t hold back. We get into: The "BIM Blah.0" Reality Check: Why today's core tools are running on ideas from the 70s, built in the 80s, and why platforms need to be radically more flexible. Vibe Coding & Version Control: Why AI agents can't just be turned loose on a drawing set without the architectural equivalent of Git (and why liability demands it). Compositional Design vs. Rigid Schemas: The breakdown of object-oriented data models when faced with real-world procurement and manufacturing. The Communication Chasm: What actually happens on-site when trades hit an unconstructible detail and "do it their way" without a feedback loop back to the office. If you are tired of hearing about idealized workflows and want to talk about how we actually bridge the gap between theory and execution, this episode is for you. 👉 Episode drops June 2nd. Tune in, subscribe, and let’s start breaking the norm.
