MARCH 28, 2011
Many shopping center landlords are no longer assuming responsibility for store construction costs, but instead offering higher tenant concessions. Now that spring is officially here, I wanted to reflect on the Chicago retail construction trends and news we’ve seen so far in 2011. From the new commercial construction projects we know are in the pipeline, to what I heard at the recent Bisnow Chicago Retail Summit , I am cautiously optimistic.

Englewood Construction has worked on a number of Chicago retail construction projects in high-traffic urban areas, such as American Girl Place on Michigan Avenue. With the recent Chicago commercial construction news of Target moving to State Street and Wal-Mart opening its Neighborhood Market store at Presidential Towers, it begs the question of what other big box retailers might take advantage of current commercial construction costs and available space to introduce a smaller concept store to d
Xoom for the Construction Project Manager

Update 3/23/11: With Firefox 4 for Android soon to be available, it is expected that Corecon will run the full version of their software on the Xoom! The Motorola Xoom has been available at Verizon for a few weeks and all the competition keeps repeating is “there are no apps for it.” Who needs apps when smart software developers offer access to their applications in the cloud?

I am in love with the Archicad Marquee.

MARCH 16, 2011
That tells you a lot about my life I guess. Still, before you call me a hypocrite (i.e. encouraging software tribalism) – here is a challenge: I’ll show you mine (Archicad marquee), you show me yours (spatial filtering device); I use the marquee a lot – to examine parts of the building I am interested in. Sections can do the job too, the marquee will get me there with fewer steps and faster; I treat it a bit like an ice-cream scoop, or a surgeon’s knife, depending on the stage of the job I am in

How is it possible to gain credibility with your client when you make a mistake? The answer lies in how you respond. There is no credibility in making an excuse. As they say, “excuses only satisfy those who make them.” Instead, when faced with delivering bad news to a client, try responding using the following process: 1.

Once, when our eldest daughter was quite young she picked a book and asked her father to read it; It was a Hungarian story book (her mother is Hungarian) and my husband said something like this: ‘Sorry, this is in Hungarian, I can’t read it’. The 3-and-a-bit year old offered helpfully: ‘Shall I bring your Hungarian glasses?’ I daily battle numerous ‘real’ and computer languages myself and sometimes think of this little episode.

. I was sitting in a Detroit airport waiting for a plane to Atlanta. A well dressed gentleman sat next to me. I asked if he would watch my bag as I got a snack. He said, “sure.” So I went and got my snack and came back with a bottle of water for him. We got to talking. He was an advertising exec who worked with McDonalds, Ford, and other large companies.

This is: A LINE This is: A WINDOW. (It can sing and dance.) Goes the BIM rhetoric. Meaning that the line is dumb and no-good and the singing, dancing window (digital object) is a clever creature. that will fix everything that ever goes wrong in the AEC industry.

The video describes: Select the image Click the Scale tool (I keep calling it Resize, the old name) Click the Origin (or first "known" point) Click the Second Point (second "known"
