Description
Custom design doesn’t have to mean chaos. Learn how digital tools—from 3D capture to BIM—can bridge the gap between design intent and real-world execution. This session explores how to deliver bespoke elements with confidence, even amid imperfect site conditions. Through real case studies, discover how to collaborate with fabricators, reduce waste, manage costs, and enhance creativity through “digital craftsmanship.” Even small teams can leverage these tools to create big impact.
