should be easy and straight forward. It is not, firstly because of the sheer number of drawings that are needed to be opened (or even worse, located, then opened), secondly the information is usually highly fragmented, duplicated and uncoordinated throughout the drawing-set. Let’s for the moment accept that for the immediate future we are stuck with 2D PDF (soft) prints of drawings provided by consultants.

By now you’re heard the news that the United States Supreme Court has upheld the controversial Arizona immigration law allowing states to shut down businesses that hire illegal workers. A pointed summary of law’s effects is found in the above-linked WSJ article: The Legal Arizona Workers Act requires employers to use a federal system called E-Verify to check employees’ legal status.

If you were an English teacher and walked past a “handicap toilet” at your work daily, would it make you cringe? You may think I misspelled this, I did not. Even with my limited English knowledge I know that ‘handicap’ as is, stands for a noun or a verb, for it to be an adjective it needs to become ‘handicapped’. Putting aside the inappropriateness of the terminology for a facility that serves people with some disability, it continues to amuse me to also find the grammatically correct (but misle

I hit a bit-of-a low point with my blog-writing recently. To look for some hidden inspiration and stop repeating myself I re-read some of the posts from January. Quite early in the piece and I can’t recall the reasons for it anymore, I started offering cool little files to my readers. These were (and still are) outstanding examples of user focused communication tools developed for the construction industry.

Does it seem too good to be true? Can you actually cut your BD costs and improve your BD program at the same time? Yes! Consider these five tips: 1. Speak or moderate a session at a conference.

But the consultants insist everything was done in 2D. Recently I was working on a reasonably large project. I could ‘sense’ the model in there, the moment I put my hands on the drawings. The third time in recent months, I knew the consultants used a model. The only question was, how far did they take it? I looked for a pattern. The elevations have been definitely doctored – sections too.

My definition of BIM on any building project is: create and maintain quality project Information throughout the process. If predictive digital modelling existed there would be a smart bucket of project Information created at source, that buildings could be built from with no further quality control needed (on the documentation side at least); This hypothetical model I call a ‘Clued up model’.

A different type of redundancy from the one I described yesterday. Not an unusual set-up, have seen it on numerous projects in recent times and in many countries. There is a team of design consultants. Then, there is a team of client representative design consultants. And then another group for the contractor and not unusually, yet another for the PM company too.

Redundancy in the BIM WORKFORCE? Not quite! AEC has had its share of redundancies recently – it is time to put the word to a more positive use. Turning it on its head to promote resilience in the industry. A bit like IT. There, they talk hardware redundancy, when there’s a provision of multiple interchangeable components performing a single function, in order to provide backup as well as even-out the load each party needs managing.
