Not surprisingly, age differences can cause real relationship barriers and disrupt team dynamics on a project. Here is some advice firm leaders should share with their Millennial project managers: 1.

Autodesk Building Design Suite (ABDS) is marketed as the NEW complete solution for both CAD and BIM. (may have been out for a couple of months, I only got introduced to it recently, must have been living under a rock, me, not Autodesk); Like it or not, AutoCAD has become a commodity. One fact to prove it: whenever people in the industry refer to ‘cadding something up’, you can bet (almost 100% of the time) the work being done on AutoCAD.

At a school nearby I saw the following sign regarding "Revitalization". Their choice for the "swirl" logo reminds me of the original RTC (Revit Technology Corporation) logo. It's also what the Revit Technology Conference logo is based on too. Speaking of which, the conference opens in slightly over a week! Still some time to register if you haven't yet.

Hear it from the horse’s mouth: BIM is a fishy business. A three legged stool, all 3 legs equally important: Author, Manipulate and Act on (information); BIM without the ‘Author’ part done well, ends up like the pig in the rural wisdom: you can weigh it as much as you like, that will not make it fatter. You’ve got to remember to feed it too. BIM without the ‘Manipulate’ part is like herding cats and BIM without the ‘Act on’ part is like the horse and the water; You can have a horse (author) take

It did get me a little bit by surprise to get by far the worst hammering on the ‘booby-trapping’ post. Many people felt offended by me implying that consultants intentionally employ those practices.

Do you have trouble keeping up with the BIM jargon? You’re not alone, I can assure you. Either because it is technology driven or due to it chronically suffering from the shortage of real news, BIM seems to get a boost of new terminology regularly. For example: ‘software agnostic’. Had to look up the meaning of the second word and even after quite some research into philosophy, software development and religion, am not quite sure how it applies to BIM?

It was lucky I had my speakers off, on the laptop, otherwise the question Google Mail posed to me when I pressed the ‘send’ button would have really startled me. “Did you mean to attach a file?” – a helpful note fleshed up instead. Your message says “attached please.but there is no file attached”. This is quite creepy though – do they really scan every message I send or receive?
