BuildingSMART Conference, London

I attended the BuildingSMART conference in London yesterday and, as with many UK construction IT events these days (and despite the presence of significant delegations from Scandinavia and the US), found myself meeting a few familiar faces.

Newforma (again), plus AGCxml

I wrote at some length about US AEC focused EDMS vendor Newforma earlier this month. Today, courtesy of AECNewsroom, I see that Newforma Project Center has been adopted by US architectural practice HOK. It will, the article says, help HOK staff “to organize and find project information more efficiently, to share and communicate project documents …
