Why are 2D drawings still so popular? To most architects, engineers and other professionals in and around the construction industry, the use of drawings is innate and fundamental. In any discussion about a potential idea or project, the first thing that we do is reach for pencil and paper to explain what we are thinking […]

What is BIM in construction? BIM (Building Information Modelling) in Construction is a process that is used to convey a wide variety of information to all those involved in the construction lifecycle. In the ideal case, this means using BIM in: Planning Design Construction Commissioning Operation Maintenance De-commissioning Demolition Although the creation of a 3D […]
CAD (Computer-aided design) has been used in the design industry for 30 years or more. It enables the fast production of drawings and the ability to revise designs or reproduce alternative proposals very quickly. CAD has proved to be an essential tool in communicating designs to stakeholders, but the advent of new technology has raised […]

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is no longer just for architects or builders. It’s changing the way structural engineers, detailers and fabricators are working together. These BIM pointers are put together by Autodesk. Reason 1 – Stay Relevant In The Industry If you don’t make the move to 3D BIM Modelling soon you are in danger […]
How can you make your BIM investment pay even greater dividends? The answer may be in the Cloud! Check out these three challenges listed in this Autodesk infographic below and see how BIM teams have used the power of cloud collaboration. […]
The long awaited BIM Level 2 website was unveiled earlier this week to share information about how to prepare for the April 2016 BIM mandate. BIM is a collaborative way of working underpinned by digital technologies. These technologies allow for more efficient methods of designing, delivering and maintaining physical built assets throughout their entire life-cycle. […]
Did you know Britain is great at engineering? Perhaps it comes as no surprise that in 2013 the engineering industry contributed to 25% of all UK turnover! To celebrate Britain’s success in the civil engineering sector we have come up with a list of our top five engineering projects to keep an eye out for […]
