Every day, thousands of people are hard at work writing (and managing the efforts) for architecture proposals, engineering proposals, or construction proposals. AEC (or A/E/C) refers to the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. AEC (or A/E/C) refers to the architecture, engineering, and construction industry.

Cloud-computing will have a much more significant impact upon how the built environment is managed than 3D visualization. Information drives cost savings and higher efficiency. Additionally real-time, multi-point collaborative access is securely enabled by cloud computing. In short, cloud computing eliminates the need for data silos.

For construction folks who work a lot with architecture and engineering firms, seeing these three letters is kind of like greeting a familiar friend.

On the left of this spectrum, you have those Design-Build projects that use bridging documents, lowest bidder selection, and a team that doesn’t work well together. The biggest problem with this model is that when you have an architect prepare bridging documents, you’ve just made all the big decisions without the input of the building team.
