Construction contracts are the same worldwide. While there are differences in language, classification, project delivery and other factors, the one common denominator is that a construction contract requires Drawings and Specifications. While geometric modelling software and specification software have both evolved over time, very little effort is currently being exerted in Canada to integrate them in document development processes.According to Arcadis global surveys, the #1 cause of c...

Despite the rhetoric surrounding the use of building information modelling (BIM) to enhance collaboration by connecting people and data, the status quo is to work with proprietary solutions and closed file formats, limiting accessibility and interoperability. Additionally, the increasing complexity of projects in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry requires technology that integrates data at a range of scales, from asset to city, and beyond. To address ...
