3D Modeling and Technology in Custom Home Building

In this episode of Built By Insights, host Matt Krueger dives into a rich conversation with Lawrence Smith, a longtime friend, client, and VP of Construction Management Solutions at Trimble, a technology leader in construction. 

Lawrence shares his journey from a land surveying start in the UK to pioneering cutting-edge digital solutions at Trimble in the U.S. They discuss how technology like robotic total stations, 3D modeling, and SketchUp visualization tools are reshaping both commercial and residential construction. The future of critical decisions of design are and will be using these tools. 

Discover how cutting-edge tools enable real-time design adjustments—whether it’s swapping out a material or adding new architectural elements—allowing clients to fully visualize their dream homes before construction begins. Matt and Lawrence discuss the benefits of integrating technology throughout the build, from foundational layouts to cost estimating with AI, giving architects, contractors, and homeowners powerful new ways to streamline projects and collaborate effectively.

Whether you're a builder, designer, or homeowner, tune in to gain insights into the evolving role of technology in construction and where the future of design is heading.
