While we’re big fans of design-build construction, wherein the contractor fully “quarterbacks” the project by taking ownership of all elements, from selecting architecture and engineering firms to subcontractor partners, another great option we’re seeing more and more clients choose recently is the design-assist construction model.

The new generation of 20 somethings (and younger) in training or about to enter the AEC, are taught that documenting building is about creating drawings. Or even if such programs exist and students are let loose to model, render and animate to their heart content, once they enter the industry, they get quickly shown the ‘real’ ropes.

It is not, firstly because of the sheer number of drawings that are needed to be opened (or even worse, located, then opened), secondly the information is usually highly fragmented, duplicated and uncoordinated throughout the drawing-set.
