In the digital age, architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms are increasingly relying on cloud-based collaboration tools to manage complex projects. Yet, as these technologies evolve, so do the conversations between Building Information Modeling (BIM) professionals and IT departments. The tension often stems from balancing project efficiency with cybersecurity — a challenge that has become…

As Building Information Modeling (BIM) continues to evolve, Revit users are exploring increasingly sophisticated ways to streamline workflows and improve efficiency. One of the most impactful strategies involves optimizing the use of Revit plugins—small tools and extensions that expand the platform’s capabilities. However, without proper management, these plugins can clutter the workspace and create unexpected…

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is no stranger to evolving digital workflows. As teams expand, projects grow more complex, and remote collaboration becomes the norm, it’s no surprise that cloud-based project management platforms must keep pace. One major shift underway is the transition from BIM 360 to Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) Docs—a move…

As the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry continues its digital transformation, collaboration between different disciplines has become more critical—and more complex—than ever. One of the persistent challenges in project delivery has been managing file-sharing workflows across different teams and platforms. A new bridging workflow is now addressing many of the pain points that have…

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has long promised to revolutionize the design and construction industry. Yet many firms continue to struggle with its full implementation. While the software and its capabilities are often framed as the challenge, the true obstacles lie deeper – in culture, communication, and leadership. What follows is a critical look at the…

As the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries embrace cloud-based design tools and BIM workflows, a persistent challenge remains: the misalignment between BIM teams and internal IT departments. While both groups share the goal of efficient, secure, and high-quality project delivery, differing expertise and priorities can often hinder progress-especially when it comes to permissions, collaboration,…

The question, “Can you fix my Revit template?” might seem straightforward, but it opens a complex conversation about customization, workflow, and user habits in the architecture and design world. Revit templates are often misunderstood as a one-size-fits-all solution, when in reality, they are dynamic frameworks that evolve with every project, user preference, and firm-wide standard.…

The True Cost—and Value—of Transitioning from AutoCAD to BIM As the architecture, engineering, and construction industries continue to modernize, the shift from 2D drafting tools like AutoCAD to Building Information Modeling (BIM) platforms such as Revit is accelerating. While the long-term benefits of BIM are clear—improved coordination, data-rich modeling, and automation—many firms still struggle with…
