Architecture, MEP, electrical: there is an issue, so let\u2019s solve it. On November 10, at the BuildEXT meetup held as part of the National Hungarian Building Services Days, we will use real project situations like this to show what multidisciplinary coordination actually means in practice, and where a well-functioning BIM-based project environment can generate real value.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every investment project changes continuously. A new technological requirement appears, a piece of equipment changes, a routing needs to be modified, or it simply turns out that two disciplines need the same space. At that point there is no question: the problem has to be solved, as quickly as possible, with all relevant parties involved, but with as few working hours as possible and, of course, with technically robust content.  <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-44b4b222 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-background-color has-background has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px\">Learn more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You have a Ferrari. And\u2026? <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is plenty of talk about BIM and construction digitalization, but technology is only one factor among many. It is worth nothing if it is not embedded into daily project work, change management and communication between disciplines. It is a bit like Formula 1: it does not matter if you own one of the Red Bull cars if your team needs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p7xbq9w7nl8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">seven times longer<\/a> than 2 seconds for a tyre change, while the messages coming through your helmet are also based on incorrect information. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This time, the meetup\u2019s central practical case study is built around the Hungarian <a href=\"https:\/\/buildext.com\/en\/projects\/electronics-component-manufacturing-plant-office-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"projects\" data-id=\"17512\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">factory and office development<\/a> of a Swiss-owned multinational company. We will not present the project only from the designer\u2019s perspective: the client\u2019s technical manager will also take part in the discussion, and we will of course address the economic aspects as well. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/buildext.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/BuildEXT-General-Meetup_Trim.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">BuildEXT meetup \u2013 practical knowledge, a great atmosphere and valuable professional connections<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens when the first change request arrives?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The professional programme will be opened by <strong>Csaba Livj\u00e1k<\/strong>, Founder and Managing Director of BuildEXT. His presentation will focus on how to structure a project so that neither change nor the potentially conflicting interests of project participants work against the client or against one another. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He will be followed by <strong>Andr\u00e1s Manherz<\/strong>, Head of MEP Engineering at BuildEXT, who will present real industrial project situations, including cases where a single technical change affected the work of several disciplines and required rapid coordination.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The presentations will be followed by an interactive roundtable, where we will examine the same questions from client, design and professional perspectives. Participants will include <strong>Szil\u00e1rd Kisap\u00e1ti<\/strong>, Board Member of the Building Services Section of the Hungarian Chamber of Engineers, <strong>Gerg\u0151 Fodor<\/strong>, Technical Manager at REDEL Elektronika, and <strong>Andr\u00e1s Manherz<\/strong>. The discussion will be moderated by <strong>P\u00e9ter Kincses<\/strong> (President of the Media Section of \u00c9VOSZ; Head of Sales and Business Development at Magyar \u00c9p\u00edt\u0151k), who will also invite the audience to challenge the speakers.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the programme, a <strong>live tech demo<\/strong> will show the workflows discussed during the presentations in practice.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t come alone!<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We primarily welcome investors, plant managers, project managers, technical managers, MEP and other discipline engineers, designers and contractors \u2013 especially teams working on industrial projects or other investments with complex technological requirements.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are preparing for a new project, or are already deep into implementation, <strong>bring along the colleagues you need to make project decisions with<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Programme and participation<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Date<\/strong>: Tuesday, November 10, 2026 <br\/><strong>Arrival and registration<\/strong>: from 17:45<br\/><strong>Professional programme<\/strong>: from 18:00 until we run out of steam<br\/><strong>Venue<\/strong>: BuildEXT office, ZenGarden Office Building, 14\u201324 Horv\u00e1t Street, 1027 Budapest, Hungary<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participation is free of charge, but prior individual registration is required.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Detailed programme and registration<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/landing.buildext.com\/omen-buildext-meetup\">https:\/\/landing.buildext.com\/omen-buildext-meetup<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-44b4b222 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-background-color has-background has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px\">Learn more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the BuildEXT meetup held on November 10 as part of the National Hungarian Building Services Days, we will use real project situations to show what multidisciplinary coordination means in practice and where a well-functioning BIM-based project environment delivers tangible value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15458,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[21,371],"tags":[398,504],"class_list":["post-24082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-publicity","tag-meetup-en","tag-eloadas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/buildext.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/buildext.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/buildext.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buildext.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buildext.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24082"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/buildext.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24082\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24088,"href":"https:\/\/buildext.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24082\/revisions\/24088"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buildext.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/buildext.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buildext.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buildext.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
