Who doesn’t love design? It’s like a bottomless bowl of chocolate ice-cream.
Just like our bodies can’t survive merely on sweet desserts, your firm needs vegetables and protein too.
Most firms struggle with maintaining the proper balance between the fun side of our practice and the necessary effort to keep a firm running smoothly: managing projects and staff, keeping the cash flowing (more in than out), acquiring new business, on-and-on.
Join us for an engaging, live webinar presented by Steve Burns, FAIA, Chief Creative Officer at BQE Software. You will see how easy it is to finally bring balance to your firm by applying the same care and design to firm management as you do your projects.
Cloud computing is transforming firms like yours and how the rules of the game have been upended.

As the title would suggest, what owners want (need) out of their BIM is worlds away from what the architects, engineers and contractors need to build the owner’s building.

Architecture tells us a great deal about society. In fact, glass and glazing are used to blur the lines between inside and out, helping elevate performance and the experiences of people. Yet while humans can use environmental cues to identify glass as a barrier, there is growing realization that birds cannot.

This presentation uses a case history approach to provide an in-depth look at the benefits prefabricated exterior walls bring to construction projects. Effects on aesthetics, constructability, schedule, cost, and design practices are covered. This presentation also outlines how construction teams can optimize job site safety and minimize on-site construction waste using prefabricated exterior walls.

Revit model health continues to be an important topic of discussion in our industry. As models grow from phase to phase, so does the complexity of the geometry and the information that users input into the Revit models. As deadlines loom and more help is added to projects, it is easy to forego modelling and drafting standards to meet those deadlines. The unfortunate side-effects of relinquishing modelling and drafting standards are unhealthy, bloated models that become increasingly difficult to work with, full of warnings, and full of confusing data that is unused or improperly used.
