I just came across MyConstructionDocuments.com, a relatively recent arrival on the AEC scene. Created by a Charlotte, North Carolina, USA-based company called Intermarket Solutions LLC, MyConstructionDocuments is yet another web-based file-sharing service. No details of the monthly costs are available on the site (prospective customers need to call or email the vendor), but the service …

Newforma targets the UK
On the same day last week that I swapped emails with Knowledge Architecture’s Chris Parsons (see post), I read in AECcafe.com that New Hampshire, USA-based AEC software vendor Newforma was forming a user community in the UK (see Newforma Users Form Community in United Kingdom). Newforma hired former Excitech executive Tim Bates as a new …

I HATE LOSING!
UK construction collaboration technology vendors with long(ish) memories will recall the surge in interest by the major UK water utility companies in using web-based systems to support their Asset Management Programmes (AMPs) during the early 2000s. Former BuildOnline boss Mark Suster, now a venture capitalist in California, tells the story of a defeat clutched from …

This is the Knowledge Architecture Blog of the week!
I received an email this morning from Chris Parsons, founder of San Francisco-based IT consultancy Knowledge Architecture, telling me that ExtranetEvolution.com was KA’s Blog of Week – read his kind words about my blog here. The first KA Blog of the Week was another favourite of mine, often cited: Lachmi Khemlani’s AECbytes. Knowledge Architecture leverages …

Construction Computing Awards 2009
Nominations for the Construction Computing Awards 2009 are now open (close 3 September). Sponsors include Causeway and MPS. Pretty much the same format as previous years, with online voting for two months from September to November with a ceremony on 19 November, this year at the Tower Hotel, London. A couple of thoughts: First, looking …

From PLM and social media, to AEC design
I have been monitoring conversations about social media among some manufacturing and product lifecycle management (PLM) commentators, and a post by Desktop Engineering‘s Kenneth Wong – What PLM Can Learn from Social Media – has lingered in a browser tab for most of the past two days as I’ve re-read it and pondered it. Kenneth …

AECcollaborators Twitter League
Following my post about how some providers of construction collaboration technologies are beginning to incorporate social media tools and techniques into their communications, I have set up a Twitter League to monitor how many companies and people in those businesses use Twitter, how active they are, how many followers they have, etc (I’ve added a …

‘Extranet’ vendors getting social?
(This is a slightly amended version of a post from my pwcom2.0 blog that discusses how UK construction collaboration vendors are embracing social media as part of their communications mix.) I have spent much of the past ten years working in the ‘extranet’ or ‘construction collaboration technologies’ market, but as well as this blog, I …

How boom went bust at the click of a mouse
I’ve chronicled the slide of BuildOnline in a number of blog posts over the past four years (notably Investing in a dot.com/SaaS business: a history), and the losses suffered by the early BO investors have clearly been shared by numerous other Ireland-based start-ups, as this Irish Independent article makes clear. Writer Roisin Burke suggests BO’s …

Contract Communicator
4 August 2009
Today I discovered Johannesburg, South Africa-based Contract Communicator, a technology company providing web-based solutions aimed at managing contract issues involving any of five forms of the FIDIC contract or the NEC3 Engineering and Construction contract. Founded by technologist Leon Cilliers and lawyer Mark Ilbury in 2008, the company‘s core product (see PDF too) is a …
