“We have not seen much of a slowdown at all in our projects,” Hugley says. “When you’re using cloud-based tools, as we have for years, your work processes don’t change because your data is out in the cloud. Everybody worked from home during the pandemic except for me and a safety guy. There were only two people in this whole building, and I was managing all my projects, usually using Microsoft Teams or Zoom for meetings and BIM 360 for projects and information. The investments we’ve made in technology produced unbelievable results.”
