Hubexo Presents: BIM to Spec: How to Pull a Verified BIM Object into Revit

Discover how design intent stays consistent through workflows from research to documentation, without version drift.

We begin with the understanding that what gets drawn, gets built. But in practice, it’s rare – BIM objects get pulled from unverified sources, documentation is overlooked, and by the time a substitution occurs on-site, it’s difficult to confirm whether – or if – it meets the original design intent.

BIM to SPEC illustrates how BIM objects move from search to spec to REVIT in real time, eliminating version drift and the gap between what is designed and what is specified.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how integrated, verified workflows protect design intent, and how to close the loop between Architects, Spec Writers, and Procurement.

Key Learning:

  • How to source BIM objects with verified certification and performance data attached, not just geometry
  • What gets lost when spec and BIM workflows are disconnected and how to recognize it before it becomes a challenge
  • A live look at a verified object moving from search to REVIT to spec in one continuous flow

Speaker: Jane Hibbert, Vice President, Technical Content, Lattira - Hubexo

12:55-1:15pm ET
Egnyte Presents - From Fragmented Files to Institutional Memory: Turn Project Data into Your Competitive Advantage

Every AEC firm faces knowledge cliffs: staff turnover, project closeout, and even the passage of time. This session shows how structured content management—metadata, permissions, and classification ready for AI—compresses project handoffs from weeks to hours, transforming institutional knowledge into a powerful competitive advantage. Includes a real-world case study from an infrastructure firm.

Speaker: Aaron Vorwerk, Architecture Practice Leader, Egnyte

1:30-1:50pm ET
ESRI Presents - An Exploration of GIS in Architecture, Urban Design, and Planning

GIS is revolutionizing architecture, planning, and urban design by providing context, enhancing collaboration through powerful visualization tools, and informing stakeholders to drive better decisions. As the field evolves, integrating GIS will become increasingly vital in shaping innovative, data-driven, and sustainable design solutions for the built environment.

Hubexo Presents - Building Better: How Specifications, AI & BIM Drive Sustainable Outcomes

Sustainable, growth-oriented outcomes are decided long before ground break. There are thousands of small – yet crucial decisions being made while the spec is being written. Specification writing remains one of the most manual tasks in the design process – so what are the advantages of employing AI to help?

Build Better will illustrate what changes AI, verified product data, and BIM working together can make for you, and how you can eliminate silos and collaborate with colleagues. Expert Mark Barretto will discuss how AI can revolutionize your business – and how to determine where and what kind of guardrails you need. Attendees will learn how removing friction from research and documentation doesn’t just save time, it changes what gets specified – making the sustainable choices the fastest and easiest ones to select.

Key Learnings:

  • How AI-assisted workflows shift specifications from manual research to super-quick, evidence-based comparisons
  • Why verified data is what brings value to AI-driven specifications
  • How to develop the speed necessary to achieve sustainable outcomes at scale

Speaker: Mark Barretto, Vice President, Lattira North America, Lattira - Hubexo
