Data Management in the Construction Industry: Bridging Engineering and Business Needs

By Dick Weisinger

Data management in the construction industry is evolving to address the unique challenges of integrating engineering data with broader business processes. Historically, engineering data—such as CAD files, BIM models, and project specifications—has been siloed within specialized systems, limiting accessibility for

Geolocation in CAD and BIM: Enhancing Spatial Intelligence in Design

By Dick Weisinger

Adding geolocation information to Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) documents has become a crucial practice in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. This integration of spatial data with detailed design information offers numerous benefits that streamline

AI for Engineering Data and Design: Balancing Assistance with Human Oversight

By Dick Weisinger

While AI offers significant potential for accelerating engineering tasks, particularly in design and data management, its limitations and the need for human oversight remain crucial considerations. Entrusting critical decisions entirely to AI, especially concerning data management, is not yet feasible.
