CSC Toronto Building Expo 2017
Many thanks to Sponsors of the CSC Building Expo
Shout out to
Chuck Dykstra of Fluke Electronics for the insightful chat about mapping/testing facilities for internet signal strength, security issues, and much more! Glad to hear the wireless division is now being handled by Netscout a division of Keating Technologies Inc. Great tip on getting the most out of my fluke equipment by checking out their online training
David Webster of Leland Industries Inc for setting the record straight on the risk of using impact drivers on fasteners and the impact of that practice especially on warranties for metal roofing systems
Anthony Caruso of Quikrete for the handy concrete mix calculator. The online version looks pretty good too and I’m pleasantly surprised that your product catalogue includes a link to current MSDS sheets…what a break!
Geoff Smith whose passionate and refreshingly honest keynote speech at lunch kept me up last night thinking about the changing landscape…the death of the change order business model, the impact of new technologies, especially BIM in the AEC industry, the emerging of foreign contractors and new directions like modular construction to mitigate a decline in productivity growth. What was that he said? Is Autodesk a competitor? Hmm…there’s an aha moment. Just how does the industry migrate to 3D modelling software anyways? Not to mention 4DBIM, 5DBIM, 6DBIM and who gets left behind?
Thanks Geoff, you nailed it
What’s next? Just when you thought you had sorted out SB-10…
more about ever changing building codes…who-what-where-when-how will data impacting the built environment be gathered, analysed and implemented?
Post (Expo) Script...Appeal to Owners from CanBIM
Yep…
Looks like we will need to stick together to figure this all out
