We’re happy to hear from Alicia Lagarde as a guest blogger on the Monitor this week. This blog focuses a great deal on construction law from the perspective of the contractor, supplier or subcontractor. It’s a nice change of pace to have Alicia posting on our site to discuss a perspective that is very important and popular, but not frequently discussed here: the perils and challenges of hiring a contractor to perform home repairs or construction.

My best friend’s parents worked for a Newspaper company. (not a News Agency, 40+ years ago, an old fashioned, daily newspaper); Her mother was a typist, father a type-setter, we occasionally visited the offices and the printing floor. Apart from all the juicy gossips we picked up – I got to know the fascinating journey of the ‘news’ from the journalist, through the typist, the corrector over the typesetter, some other technical people, into the printing machine, out to the truck – off to the new

. It may seem crazy when I say if your firm won’t pay, pay your own way. But let me tell you a story. Last year I paid my own way to the Build Business conference in Boston. This included registration, airfare, hotel, meals, etc. By no means was it cheap. But I knew I could make something happen just by showing my face at the conference. What did I get for all my hard-earned money?

Hearing reports that Revit 2012 software is available in some markets via the subscription center. Might be worth checking during the next few days to see if it becomes available in your market. As of tonight I'm not seeing it here yet. The rumored release data, meaning "boxes" shipping is April 11th. That means, if the past is any measure, that the online access to it will be some days prior.

and what if this Light-bulb does not want to change? Went to the Tekla roadshow BIM-day today and was pleasantly surprised. No, it was not just a sale pitch though sometime I wish it was. I go to events like the one today and think: how many other industries are forced to create ‘the need’ before they can start selling ‘the solution’? Why is so much effort necessary to go into starting from the basics every time?

Knowing what customers want and need has become the basic building block of every industry group and business, but it’s astonishing how many firms never think to ask what their clients really want, or even how they’re doing. Is it because you’re oblivious? You don’t care? You don’t really want to know? Of course not, but NOT asking your clients can be dangerous and might just lose you a client or future project.

The problem with writing daily is the urge to start each post with ‘the biggest problem.’ Surely when it comes to an area of one’s interest there is a finite number of ‘biggest problems’ and continuing to introduce new ones lessens credibility. Oh, well.May adopt Graham’s strategy and use the “one of the.” approach; BIMologists of various kinds must wonder sometimes if their role is not a bit parasitical.

It is surprising that in a field so highly contested by a number of strong, international (global) players there is a lack of external branding for the disciples. Something that would easily differentiate a Revit follower from a Vectorworks user, an Archicad fan from a GT enthusiast or Bentley buff. A colour, a piece of clothing, a haircut? In my quests to accumulate enough CPD points annually to keep my registration going in NZ, I often attended NZIA gatherings.
