140: ‘You Had Me at Anger’, with Håvard Vasshaug

Håvard Vasshaug of Anker joins the podcast to talk about his passion for AEC tech and the challenges in the industry. He tells the story of his journey with the Bad Monkeys, Reope, and Anker, and we also chat a lot about why it’s healthy to be dissatisfied—angry even—at the software we all use. We also cover change management, BIM and the necessity of consistent and quality data, and the problems he and the team are currently solving at Anker regarding the use of BIM in operations and facilities maintenance. We conclude with a discussion on the future of BIM and the potential for liberating architects and engineers from data management tasks and bad software.To learn more about Håvard Vasshaug, see the full show notes with links, find more episodes, and find the past guests on the TRXL podcast please visit https://trxl.coGet the TRXL AEC Tech Newsletter and episode show notes emailed you you when new episodes are released at https://www.trxl.co/#/portal/signupProvide feedback for this episode at https://trxl.co/feedbackMentioned in this episode:Sponsor: TRXL+ MembershipWith a TRXL+ membership you will get your own private feed for ad-free episodes of the podcast, the show notes right in your podcast app and in your inbox, your own ad-free copy of every TRXL AEC/tech newsletter delivered directly to your inbox, and additional member-only content over time.
