There are more than 1.1 million women working in the construction industry, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While this pales in comparison to the near 10 million men in the field, women around the world are joining forces to narrow this gap and help raise each other up in the industry. In fact, this was the impetus behind […]
Virtual design and construction (VDC) and building information modeling (BIM) often conjure up a lot of questions. Chief among them: What’s the difference between the two? At a high level, it’s quite simple–VDC is the overarching process, or multi-disciplinary performance model, in which BIM can be utilized as one of the tools. But VDC does not have to incorporate building […]

Semiconductor facilities are in a constant state of change–continually retooling to keep pace with innovation and remain relevant. Yet, this rapid and steady rate of change often comes with a price: tool downtime, schedule delays, production delays, and rework issues. When schedule, production, and safety are mission critical, teams have to think beyond traditional construction methods. This is where digital […]

Over the last few years in the architecture community, there’s been greater adoption of 3d scanning technology to create accurate as-builts and existing condition models. And certainly, the events of 2020 prompted a significant tailwind for this as many suddenly had to reconsider how site and structure information was gathered and shared. Whether it was out of sudden necessity or […]
Architects are increasingly adopting 3d scanning technology to create as-builts and existing conditions models, and we certainly saw an uptick of its use in 2020 that has carried forward to the present. Still, despite the benefits 3d scanning has demonstrated, particularly as the need to conduct business virtually has increased, there remains some hesitation within the architecture industry at large […]
