AECCafe Industry Predictions for 2020 – Part 1
Friday, January 3rd, 2020AECCafe Year In Review 2019
Thursday, December 19th, 2019Each year when I look back on what was accomplished during the technology year, I’m amazed at how many of the same topics come up. The reason for this is most likely because none of the challenges put before the AEC industry are going to be solved that easily.
