I’ll say it again, 2010 was a rebuilding year for the commercial construction industry. It wasn’t as bad as 2009, but not as good as 2008. So I’ve created a commercial construction checklist for what we considered the highs and lows of 2010 commercial construction trends. It was a busy year for shopping center renovations, like the new food court construction at Westfield's Old Orchard shopping center in Skokie, Ill.

I got an email recently citing some article saying that construction starts would incr ease in 2011 for the first time in some ungodly amount of time. I’d give you the exact number and cite the source and all that, but that would make this much more like a book report instead of the eloquent and flowing stream of conciousness that makes it a blog…er whatever it is that you call this. .

Lead Generation is Important! With both commercial and residential construction down by double-digits in many markets from pre-recession highs, sales lead generation has never been more important to marketers targeting construction decision makers, whether construction firms or building product manufacturers. This fact is reinforced by a recent Construction Marketing Association survey—2011 Construction Marketing Outlook—which ranked Lead Generation as one of the top priorities for next year.

Last week the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA) Valley of the Sun Chapter had the pleasure of hearing from two fabulous Senior Compliance Officers, Mary Sneed-Hill and Cheryl Davis from the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP).

Artistic originality is rarely mentioned in the context of sustainable architecture and construction. For example, Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid-like buildings have not found a place in this magazine. In fact, when architects of this avant-garde ilk claim how their buildings do deploy environmentally-responsible features, their claims have seemed to lack credibility or at best sound like secondary rationales.

Whenever a pipe fitting does not display the correct proportional (connector sizes are indicating the correct diameter, just not the graphical appearance) size it is because the LookupTable file for that family isn't found (or possibly the K-Factor database is corrupt for ducts). I mention the K-Factor issue because it may also be an issue of user access permission.

Revit provides no good way to mark, or locate cameras, renderings or photos, right?

Our architects are working directly with our clients to design the addition to closely match the existing house while taking advantage of the opportunity to make updates to the floor plan.

I keep meaning to do this myself. I was gathering information and happened to see a post at the Revit Forum asking the same question essentially so I posted my response there and here. Ignoring the question of which language to focus on.well, if you've got no programming experience already supposedly C# (C sharp) is " easiest " to learn. Otherwise any language you are already familiar with, assuming you are familiar with.net too, will work (your mileage may vary).
