Precision Buildability The Case for a Rhino-VisualARQ Workflow in Construction In the modern AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry, “BIM” is often synonymous with large databases and heavy documentation sets. However, as designs become more complex and timelines tighter, a new priority has emerged: Precision Buildability. This is not just about producing a set of …
Beyond the Energy Bill Material Selection is the Next Frontier for Sustainable Buildings The conversation around sustainable construction in Greece has traditionally focused on one crucial element, energy efficiency. It makes sense. Reducing the electricity and heating oil needed to run a building saves money and lowers emissions immediately. However, as our buildings become highly …
