But every once in a while we have something special to share.

Email can be a contractor’s best friend or worst enemy.

Many have taken the time to create rules and put emails in various folders to help them sort through their inbox.

I have spent just over a year thinking about the International Green Construction Code (IgCC). I know it has been one year because I received my first copy of the code at Greenbuild 2010. My conclusion today about the code is no different than it was one year ago: The IgCC is unnecessarily confusing. Take, for instance, the IgCC's basic setup -- it's two codes in one.

Twitt er has some amazing capabilities that most people do not know about. Everyone assumes that Twitter is a way to let everyone know what they are doing every minute of everyday. Some individual users may use it for this purpose, but that doesn’t mean you have to listen. This ‘noise’ on Twitter is often a deterrent to most people even giving the micro-blogging platform a chance.

I just purchased the plans for the Cecil County Health Center in Conawingo, MD. The total project cost will come in around $2 million, however at this time, I do not have the bonding capacity for this job. I’d like to partner with another general contractor or subcontractor that could make up the difference in bonding this. It is a fantastic project that would provide healthcare experience as well as be a nice source of income for the year long project.

Uh oh Spagetti O's. with the recent update I've noticed that the elevation annotation tags do not update when the their detail number values are changed. I don't recall this happening before the update but it's definitely going wrong now. I find it necessary to change the annotation type to another or alter a setting in the family before Revit will "wake up" and change the tag to the new value.

Many observed at the time that she could have ‘easily’ died had she landed a bit differently. She would have never known her 6 grandchildren born in the years following this accident.
