Make the transition survivable for small teams
Guides a small practice or project team through a structured CAD→BIM transition: readiness assessment, training plan, pilot project selection, and weekly retrospectives. Designed to make the move stick without overwhelming the people doing the work.
Create a skill called "CAD-to-BIM Adoption Coach" for a small architecture practice transitioning from CAD to BIM. You should: 1. Run a readiness checklist: do we have standards, templates, libraries, assigned roles, and a pilot project selected? 2. Based on the gaps, create a training plan focused on the highest-risk areas first: worksharing fundamentals, model standards, sheet setup, consultant exchange 3. Generate a lightweight BIM execution plan (mini-BEP) for our pilot project 4. Every week during the pilot, run a retrospective: what broke, what worked, and what should we standardize going forward 5. After the pilot, compile lessons learned into a starter standards document Our pilot project type: [describe — e.g., "small renovation, 2-person team"]. Training focus: worksharing, model standards, sheet setup, consultant exchange.
Switching from CAD to BIM is a business decision that plays out as a daily
workflow disruption. Most small firms stall because they try to learn
everything at once on a live project. This recipe breaks the transition into
manageable steps: assess what you have, fill the critical skill gaps first,
run a controlled pilot, and build standards from what actually works —
not from a template you downloaded.
Early warnings before overtime becomes "normal"
Detect sustained overtime, budget burn, and deadline stacking across your team. Produces a weekly capacity snapshot, flags risk, and drafts corrective actions — scope resets, staffing asks, or fee/variation language — before burnout and margin collapse set in.
Fix the model before it breaks the deadline
When your Revit model gets sluggish — slow syncs, crashes, ballooning file size — this recipe runs a standardized health checklist, captures symptoms, and produces a prioritized cleanup sprint plan with owners and timeboxes.
Local-first AI assistant that automates small daily tasks safely on your device
A personal, local-first AI assistant that automates small daily tasks—organizing files, setting reminders, and monitoring system events—without touching sensitive data or taking risky actions without your approval.
Emergency checklist for internet/platform failures
Traders frequently mention outages and connectivity failures as real risks, especially when trades lack hard stops. This recipe creates an "emergency runbook" and periodically tests readiness.
