The Real Cost to Design + BIM + Build My Home Addition (The North Wing Project Update) - Replay

 

Ever wondered what it actually costs to design, BIM, and build a home addition? In this episode of BIM After Dark Live, I pull back the curtain on The North Wing Project, my own home addition that I designed, modeled in Revit, and built myself.

I’ll walk through:

- What I’d do differently next time
