Tech Tips for Construction, BIM Quality Essentials & Scan-To-CAD in Action
This week's newsletter highlights Autodesk's "Digital Builder Tech Tips" series, designed to help construction professionals optimize technology use. It also includes the need for quality in BIM to prevent costly errors. Additionally, we feature a Scan-to-BIM case study on restoring the Franciscan Monastery in Deva, Romania, demonstrating how technology can expedite and improve heritage restoration projects. Enjoy!
Tips to Maximize Construction Tech Adoption from AutoDesk
Autodesk's research shows that cloud-based collaboration in construction surged 2.5x from 2020 to 2022, emphasizing the critical role of technology in the industry. The "Digital Builder Tech Tips" series aims to offer practical advice on technology workflows in construction. Learn more about using customized forms to mitigate construction risks, and address the challenges of Request for Information (RFI) management, with tech-based solutions for easier tracking and reporting. One of the episodes explores the resistance to technological innovations in construction and emphasizes the importance of embracing change. The series is an essential resource for anyone looking to advance their use of technology in construction.
The Imperative of Quality BIM for Construction Success
Quality in Building Information Modelling (BIM) is not just a technical requirement but a cornerstone for success in modern construction. While BIM adoption rates are soaring, the focus must shift to the quality of these models. Poor-quality BIM can lead to costly errors and inefficiencies, affecting the entire value chain. Achieving high-quality BIM is a shared responsibility, involving clients, contractors, consultants and designers. It's not just about visual appeal; it's about conformance to standards, regulations, and the specific needs of the project. High-quality BIM can offer a competitive advantage, especially in today's challenging environment marked by resource constraints and the need for sustainability. It's time for the industry to recognize that quality in BIM is everyone's responsibility and is key to project success.

Scan-to-CAD in Action: Restoring a Franciscan Monastery
Our team was recently involved in rehabilitating the historic Franciscan Monastery in Deva, Romania. The team created detailed CAD drawings for multiple areas of the monastery and church, including floors, the building envelope, and the church tower. Utilizing two Faro laser scanners, our team captured the complex details of the structure, halving the time it would have taken with a single scanner. The project took approximately 8 hours for data collection, 4 hours for data processing, and 80 hours for final drawing delivery. These CAD drawings offer invaluable accuracy for architecture firms involved in the monastery's restoration, providing a comprehensive understanding of the building's structure and room specifics.
