This year, we are hosting a three-part Technology virtual session led by local industry specialists to highlight top trends in the AEC Tech world. For Part-1 of these sessions in March, as we are stepping into Year 2 of “Working from Home”, we have local technology specialists from the design consultancy and contractor sides, to showcase how Advanced Visualization (AR/VR) and cloud-based platforms help them to coordinate projects.
