THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IS NO LONGER LIMITED TO PHONE CALLS AND FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS TO COLLABORATE ON AND COMPLETE PROJECTS.
DIGITAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT
MASONRY HAS BEEN AROUND FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. Although the completed art itself has changed little during this broad span of time, the way we accomplish the task has stepped into the 21st century with full force. The advent of computers and the Internet has been a major factor and certainly revolutionized the way contractors manage and complete their projects. Looking toward the future, large steps are being made in the digital arena for masonry contractors and the construction industry as a whole. One current product is the Autodesk® Buzzsaw online service.
