Construct the future now!

Welcome to my blog.


Okay I am bitter, I thought I would have a jet-pack, a ray-gun and holiday in a lunar environment. Never mind, it is still a really cool time to be alive, especially for those in the construction industry where we really are starting to break existing paradigms. Virtual Design and Construct (V.D.C.) will, I have no doubt take us into a brave new world supported by data rich technologies. This little bit of the web is a platform for me to altruistically (LOL) share my thoughts with whoever is out there that happens to be passing by.

Tocci Quoted in Morrell's Report

Pleased to see John Tocci Snr quoted in Paul Morrell's Innovation & Growth Team report :

“When we have the means of modeling a building in three dimensions digitally, it is perverse to attempt to do so for the first time for real, under site conditions. As John Tocci, an American contractor who makes invariable use of BIM (whether or not the design comes to him in that form) puts it, “Every good building deserves to get built twice”.

John Tocci (Snr) is for me blazing the VDC trail, keep going John!!!

Good to see BIM being mentioned positively several times in the report, looks like any Government manadate will be the lightest of touches (public projects £50M+??).  Still it is up to us in the private sector to demonstrate the value proposition for VDC (and i'm sure we will)
