It’s always nice to go somewhere warm and sunny when the weather in the UK can be more than a little unpredictable. This is probably why so many UK property people head down to the French Riviera every March for MIPIM. Next year, architects will get the chance to do the same, but in October, when the …

Goldfish coincidence
Last year, UK collaboration vendor ePin updated its website and I remarked upon its use of goldfish images. I have just been forwarded an email from Emap Glenigan, the business information people, and noted that they also employed goldfish imagery. I am none the wiser about what the images are supposed to convey – being a …

RICSetendering.com
Almost exactly two years after it published its own guidance note on electronic tendering (see my critique), the RICS has launched its own online tendering solution, imaginatively branded ricsetendering.com, with full-page advertisements in UK trade journal Building and banner ads on Building‘s website this month. The solution is run on the OGC framework platform provided by BravoSolution (part of …

Website woes
Last week was a bit of a nightmare. The main BIW corporate website, www.biwtech.com, suddenly became unavailable due to a server problem at the hosting company used by our website designer (important note: the production servers delivering BIW’s collaboration applications are, of course, totally separate – with a different company, Attenda – and have remained online throughout). The hosting company …

Facebook and BIW comparison
I had an interesting message from a BIW user and EE blog reader via Facebook. She made an interesting comparison (partly in relation to the email-type application embedded in BIW’s collaboration platform): “This morning I … had this thought that Facebook is similar to BIW in a way. FB is heavily emphasizing usage of ‘team-mail’ (if …

IT and sustainable construction – 3
I spoke at yesterday’s EMCBE Expo 2007 Construction Conference in Rockingham, Northamptonshire, on the theme of Sustainability: the IT contribution (see previous post). Due to time constraints (more about that in a moment), I couldn’t use all the material I intended. I had brought with me a press cutting from Sunday’s Observer newspaper of this …

Extranet Evolution: two years old
The Extranet Evolution blog is now just over two years old. Just over a year ago, I noted that June 2006 had been my first year’s peak month with 2,069 page-loads by 1,049 unique visitors (totals marginally exceeded in September 2006: 2,122 and 1,282 respectively). Over the past year, traffic has risen further – every month …

Collaboration vendors on awards trail – 2
Just over a week since my post mentioning the second running of the Construction Computing Awards 2007, I have just received an email from the organisers saying that online voting for the shortlisted candidates is now under way. Looking at the shortlists from a construction collaboration technology viewpoint, almost every NCCTP member is represented somewhere …

Beat the post strike – collaborate online
One benefit of using a construction collaboration platform to manage a project is, of course, the reduced reliance on conventional paper-based communications. The UK’s Royal Mail is currently enduring its second 48-hour strike, so anything sent by post is going to be hugely delayed. Email and other electronic forms of communication have already taken a lot …

IT and sustainable construction
On 16 October, I am speaking at the EMCBE Expo 2007 Construction Conference at Rockingham in Northamptonshire, on the theme of Sustainability: the IT contribution. This regional event includes a presentation regarding the UK government’s “Draft Strategy for Sustainable Construction”, and in prepararing my contribution, I had a look through the document to see what it …
