If your shopping center general contractor can read this sign from his truck, he's guilty of being a parking poacher. In this dog-eat-dog retail world of shopping center operators and mall developers working every angle and concession to bring in new retail tenants, the last thing mall landlords need is a commercial construction general contractor who doesn’t know the rules causing headaches for everybody.

I feel like public construction bidding, especially small ones are like the minor leagues of construction projects. The pay is low, the competition is fierce and the chances of making it big are stacked tremdously against you. Sometimes I wonder if I’m better off trying to sell lemonade on the street corner or perhaps collect tons of aluminum cans and haul them to Michigan on horseback where I can get 5 cents a can for recycling. .

This modest 2,000sf house is located on Bowen Island, which lies at the mouth of Howe Sound, a 20-minute ferry ride from West Vancouver. The site is in a west-facing rural lot framed by a ridge of exposed granite to the north, and forest to the south and east. Due to the western exposure and bowl-like topography, the site has a distinct microclimate and can easily reach temperatures of 30oC on sunny days from early May through late September.

With 2012 we can now map Revit fonts to fonts in AutoCAD. I can export Arial to Romans for example. I got a request to check something out today and the results are curious. Here's a drafting view of four Arial font sizes: 1", 1/2", 1/4" and 3/32" (using view scale of 1:1). Here's how it looks going from Arial to Arial (Revit 2012 - AutoCAD 2012). Here's how the Text Height transferred (Revit/AutoCAD): I used the "deepest" units setting in AutoCAD for Fractional of 1/256" so that's altered the v

In the design of Enermodal’s new headquarters, A Grander View, the primary goal was to create a LEED Platinum office that would be the most energy-efficient in Canada. Since its completion in late 2009, energy consumption for the 2150 m2 building is 69 kWh/m2 of energy per year. This was very close to the design energy modelling predictions of 65 kWh/m2.

I wrote this after reading a thread at RevitForum called Autodesk Certification. In the thread there, a quick mock-up "test" that one member submitted is a good example (I think) of why it's hard to make a test. When we write a question for a test, it and the answers we offer have a bias. If five people submitted their own 15 question tests, I'm confident that anyone who takes it would be able to take exception with at least a couple questions in each.
