Nathan Wood has emerged as a thought leader for innovation across the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. As SpectrumAEC’s founder and chief enabling officer, he leverages his international experience with BIM, Lean, and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) to develop strategic implementation plans that balance the needs of people, process, and technology. He has a unique ability to identify the root causes preventing new technology implementation, and works alongside project stakeholders and technical leads to align the team around clear goals with shared incentives.
Outside of SpectrumAEC, Nathan continues to support industry progress through conference presentations, academic papers, and as a leader in the Construction PDF Coalition (www.cpcoalition.com).

“A digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. A BIM is a
shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for
decisions during its life-cycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition.”
