Construction Design Management: Raising the Technology Bar

by InEight | Aug 25, 2022

The methods and tools used in construction design have evolved considerably over the last 40 years, from the early days of computer-aided design (CAD) to today's multi-dimensional building information modeling (BIM). In that time, capital projects...

Planning New Projects in a Post-Pandemic Landscape

Many of us have been thrown into a situation we’ve never been in – a global pandemic featuring COVID-19. While we may have planned for the typical unexpected challenges as far as construction projects go, no script existed for this.

Sudden changes in materials costs or availability. Site theft. Frequent or extensive change […]

How to Reduce Top Construction Risks

Every construction project has its inherent risks, both big and small, from the front office to the job site. It’s the nature of the industry, really.
