One tactic, so-called submission is the subject of our next blog, Link-Building Advanced: Submission Tips and Tricks.

Sometimes in the evening when I’m working on a few things, such as this blog, I’ll also try to carry on a conversation with my wonderful and patient wife Sallie. Once I’m deep into the work, my end of the conversation decays into “uh huh,” “really?” and similar witty and relevant remarks. Clearly, I’ve stopped having an intentional conversation.

Insightful for Construction Office and Field Technology. Yesterday I received a gift via email that I thought I should share, this ebook. It’s a quick read from the president of AIIM International, who understands why doing business like you used to will be to the detriment of your business. This title reminded me of “the Cloud and Mobile Computing Technology” panel discussion at the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA) Annual Conference last month.

Remodel Contractors Have Unique Bookkeeping Needs : Not Just Any Bookkeeper Will Do - Too often remodel contractors hire the wrong bookkeeper mistakenly believing all bookkeepers are the same. Nothing is further from the truth. Not all construction workers are the same. You would never hire a construction worker with a background in new construction commercial work to be part of your residential remodeling crew because they are trained to rip and tear, yell, get aggressive and bully everyone and

Wednesday, July 11, 2012. The New Nightmare 20 Years later. I was looking for something completely different, when in the company archives, I found a hard copy of a presentation by John F. Hill from HNTB given on August 6th 1992 titled " CADD Risk Management: The New Nightmare ". I laughed, I cried, I realized some of the things we were scared of back then turned out to be ridiculous and others are the same things we are scared of today.

I was recently speaking with a client about the posture of a pending case and the client was surprised to know that nearly all of the insurance companies that were originally brought into the suit had whittled their way out due to policy limitations, lack of coverage and policy exclusions. Most laymen, including contractors and homeowners, believe that if they purchase a policy or file suit against another party’s insurance policy that there will be a windfall payout all the way up to the

DebunkTheBIM. I am a manager of construction information, tools and people. I believe that hands-on manipulating of project information by all project participants is the key to achieving any meaningful improvement of the AEC industry operating within the post-gambling-era. I consider myself to be a model-based construction information practitioner (shortened to a ‘BIM- meddler’) rather than an ‘expert’ or even ‘specialist’ Friday, July 13, 2012.

There’s been a lot of talk about outsourcing lately (or, if you prefer, “offshoring”). Predictably, every time a presidential election cycle rolls around, the rhetoric gets overheated about who is responsible for shipping all the jobs to China. This usually is accompanied by some chest-thumping about cracking down on China for its unfair trade practices and dumping of subsidized goods in the U.S.
