Specifically: how your building data is managed, no matter if drawing, flat-model or 3D model based. Having a CAD manager does not ensure you are safe, neither is an IT department. No CAD manual, book of procedures or list of policies will protect you. Don’t be smug. You may not see this, take my word for it!
