Salla (Palos) Eckhardt is the Director of Transformation Services with Microsoft, serving as the chair of the US National BIM Program Steering Committee and has a wealth of knowledge about BIM and the digital integration into the construction process. In this episode of the podcast Salla and I talk about the digital overlay for mass timber construction and the efficiencies that can be gained. We talk about digital twins, lifecycle analysis and the purpose of driving a digital agenda for the construction, reality and environmental domains and the interrelations between them. 

Salla's mission is to  unify a clear vision around the Digital Building Lifecycle framework: consolidating the physical, social, and digital environments as a data centric entity, and empowering the end-user experiences with emerging technologies. She has built her competence to achieve goals for real estate and security vision by becoming the strategist and the developer of digital platforms, extended reality and digital construction. Including being versed in technology R&D, innovation, and digital transformation of the global construction industry.
