For years 3D coordination was the province of Autodesk Navisworks for AEC professionals. It still is in some cases but new workflows and collaboration platforms to make communication easier are …
While the gateway for Smart Buildings might be through using BIM for facility management or operations, it too has struggled to gain widespread implementation despite the high level of interest …
VIATechnik’s generative system creates different versions of shelters for disaster relief Chicago-based virtual design and construction consultant VIATechnik was already working with the Quebec Wood Export Bureau in March on …
No one is reading this from their office—at least not from the office, they’re used to. Recent events have compelled the AEC industry to adopt work-from-home remote workflows almost overnight; …
Contractors have been edging their way into the design process for some time now. The increasing trend toward more design-build, integrated project delivery and other collaborative methods have brought contractors …
ABSTRACT Although Building Information Models (BIM) are increasingly recognized as a compelling tool for project delivery, the challenges of seamless model validation and the transition of BIM data to FM …
7 min read Introduction For the last few years I’ve been working in the electrical prefabrication environment on a specific task: automatic spool-sheet and shop drawing generation, packaging labels printing, the …
The importance of model-based design reviews for project success. Construction is a risky business. The sheer amount of capital required for each project means that a single failure can pose …
As methods of construction and building become more advanced, sophisticated approaches of how we design and construct buildings become more important in today’s projects. Assembling components off-site are transforming today’s …
Chicago, IL, December 2019 – VIATechnik is pleased to announce a new partnership with UNIFI, the global leader in cloud-based BIM content and data management. As more sophisticated digital technologies …
The 8-trillion-dollar construction industry has a major problem. Simply put, we do not have enough people to meet construction demands worldwide. A study by Autodesk and the Associated General Contractors …
Experts project that prefabrication and modular construction will total $209 billion by the end of the decade. The construction industry is facing colliding forces that render our current trajectory wasteful, …
If you’re using Unreal Engine 4 to improve your scenes, you know the program can feel a bit like a maze. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. Thanks …
The Lamar Johnson Collaborative may only be five months old, but it’s run by a group of industry veterans with some big ideas about the future of AEC.
Prefabrication and modular construction have the potential to streamline the way construction professionals erect buildings — and increase overall project ROI.
As construction continues to expand, contractors (and other stakeholders) must figure out ways to reduce their industry’s detrimental impact on the environment.
Tech innovation in AEC is advancing at breakneck speed — but the industry is falling behind the curve.
