Guest Blogger Mark Beauman: World of BIM

January 6, 2013

There are a few websites now that offer free BIM content from manufacturers But there has never been a central point where architects, engineers and construction related professionals can access commercial BIM content through a flexible platform. It is for this reason World of BIM was created. I am a great believer and supporter of manufacturers providing their own BIM content free to the community. However there will always be

July 11, 2010 to July 11, 2012: Has it been two years already?

July 12, 2012

My second year of blogging I’m now at two years of never missing a week. I can’t believe that. This is post 213, which means I’m averaging slightly OVER 2 posts a week. I did not plan on that.

Just call it Land Before Time: The Wisdom of Friends. There’s no need to see the original Land Before Time movie to appreciate this umpteenth sequel. By the way, I saw the original

Adventures in GDL — guest blogger Kristian Bursell shares the origins of CADSwift

January 11, 2012

I officially entered the building design realm through the Architecture and Environmental Design course at the University of Canberra. After constantly being told that my ideals were that of a dreamer I became unsure of myself and decided the safe option was to follow the notions of friends, family and university Lecturer’s on “what life is”.
