Can Blockchain Fix The Construction Industry’s Productivity Problem?

August 1, 2018

In construction, funding the right projects and completing them safely and efficiently is how value is created. Projects that are delivered faster and at a lower cost deliver higher returns. Unfortunately, the construction industry currently lags behind others in ways that really hurt those returns. The global economy, for instance, has improved productivity at over twice the rate of construction.

Current Issues in Procurement of Architectural, Engineering, and Construction Management Services

whitePaper | February 19, 2020

Government Code Sections 4525 define a qualifications-based selection process where public entities may consider the price of proposed services in the procurement. This process was previously a three-step process starting with advertising for statements of qualifications, then developing a short list, and then requesting proposals from the short list to include resumes, comments on the contract, and price considerations if relevant; but is now often a four-step process, with the last step of negotiating sequentially with the most qualified firms.

Multiphysics Engineering Simulation in the Cloud

whitePaper | December 10, 2021

A multiphysics approach to design is of the essence to fully capture the realworld interactions between the physical phenomena at play inside today’s complex products. This means that to develop the best products need to adopt simulation tools capable of handling structural, thermal, and fluid flow behavior with high-fidelity and in a timely manner. Access to CAE simulation tools in the cloud is therefore critical and can offer a competitive advantage, as it enables engineering teams to quickly assess product performance and accelerate design iterations by leveraging its virtually limitless computational power and collaborative nature. Engineers and designers have traditionally been constrained by legacy desktop CAE tools. Neither the computational power available locally, or its associated cost, scale up or down on-demand. N
