ARTICLE OF THE WEEK

As workers find themselves having to work from home, 3D Repo’s Ben Davies explains the six benefits of cloud-based BIM in this BIM+ article.

Another article worth a read this week is from pbctoday on how COVID-19 is impacting the construction industry.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“This crisis will be an opportunity for us to rethink construction priorities, how we can better use technology and innovate in the use of joined up data to support immediate societal needs and the creation of a more resilient built environment.“

EVENTS NEXT WEEK

Unfortunately, due to the uncertainty over the coronavirus, the events we recommended for next week have either been postponed or cancelled. We’re just going to have to stay at our (home office) desks and wait for something exciting online to appear.

If anyone can recommend any good, online, BIM career centric events, please send them to sobie@dbe.careers.

On a lighter note, feel free to also send us your funniest ‘bored’ images – we will showcase the best ones!
