Here’s the
beginning of Kyle’s article about the project that’s now underway:
August 7, 2013
As a Senior
Project Engineer at Skanska, not only do I manage information related to my
projects, I also share experiences and help project teams develop new digital
processes to streamline and improve communication. We are constantly running
towards the goal of working smarter, faster and more efficiently, and like many
other general contractors nationwide, we are working towards going paperless.
To do that, we are using PDFs
and tablets more and more.
Here’s some more
of the article:
With support
from Bluebeam
Software, developers of PDF markup and collaboration solutions for
the AEC industry, Skanska has formed a coalition of general contractors
throughout the country around the banner of “All PDFs Created Equal Campaign.”
On August 1, in its first meeting,
coalition members Balfour Beatty Construction, BNBuilders, DPR Construction,
Hoffman Construction Company, McCarthy Building Companies, Mortenson
Construction, Stiles Corporation and Turner Construction Company met in Los Angeles to discuss the
first phase of this project: determining the PDF qualities that GCs need so
that we can more efficiently communicate and collaborate on digital documents.
From drawing size to file size, vector content to layer density and more, we outlined
and explained why certain aspects of PDF file creation are crucial for
effective use in the field.
