How To Use Social Proof To Grow Your AEC Network
In the AEC industry, relationships drive opportunity. It’s a “shaking hands and kissing babies” business — people work with those they know, like, and trust. But still…it’s hard for someone who hasn’t worked with you to understand what you do, how you think, and what value you bring. You can tell them. You can post […]
Why the Tool-First Mindset Is Holding Your Engineering Team Back
Engineering professionals love tools. Many of us (myself included) spent our early career years chasing the latest software or gadget, convinced that mastering these tools was the key to success. I remember obsessing over new software and automation scripts, believing that if I just found the right tool, our projects would practically manage themselves. This […]
The Ultimate Facade Inspection Laws You Need To Know For Parking Garages
Facade inspection laws (also referred to as exterior wall inspection laws) exist to protect public safety and extend the life of a building’s exterior. New York City was a pioneer in this area, enacting the first facade inspection law in 1980 (Local Law 10/1980). This came in response to several high-profile incidents in the late […]
Pioneering Success in AEC with Paperless Construction Innovations
The AEC industry is changing, and traditional paper-based workflows are becoming a thing of the past. From lost documents to outdated versions causing project delays, the inefficiencies of paper are no longer sustainable. In Episode 058 of the AEC Engineering and Technology Podcast, we explore how firms are embracing paperless construction to improve efficiency, enhance […]
Revolutionizing Report Writing With Technology and AI
As engineering professionals, we know that report writing is critical for communication, but is often mundane and time-consuming. However, advancements in technology and artificial intelligence (AI) are making the process more efficient (and enjoyable!) In this post, I’ll share insights from three episodes of the AEC Engineering and Technology Podcast related to report writing: Episode […]
How to Encourage Tech Adoption in Engineering Teams
We all understand that technology has the potential to change our industry in a positive manner. However, adoption remains perhaps the most significant challenge in seeing results that tech has promised to provide. In Episode 053 of the AEC Engineering and Technology Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Bhragan Paramanantham, a professional engineer […]

Today, I want to share insights from industry leaders who are leading the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation into engineering practice. These experts are leading the push for digital transformation, introducing ideas and workflows […]
Costs for Service Life Optimization Part II: de Sitter’s ‘Law of Fives’
As engineers committed to safety and efficiency, we know periodic inspections reveal vital issues but can be costly. The solution? Service life optimization. By extending the durability of structures, we can cut future repair costs and keep our assets in top shape.
Costs for Service Life Optimization Part I: de Sitter’s ‘Law of Fives’
As engineers, our goal is to innovate and improve safety. Regular inspections of structures exposed to the elements often reveal issues that require costly fixes. The key to reducing future expenses? Service life optimization. By enhancing and extending asset longevity, we can cut costs and boost safety.
