Welcome to the New Blog
This Blog has been a long time coming. I've
attempted to get this up and running a couple of times in the past, but somehow life's many challenges and opposition kept getting in the
way. So, now it's finally time to break the silence and ask that all important question... Are You Civil?
This Blog will not only focus on Civil Engineers as the Title might imply, but will also span across all things CAD and BIM Related including
Management, Education, Methodologies, Theories, Technologies, Solutions and General Thoughts. Professionals in the fields of Civil Engineering, Surveying, GIS, Architecture, Mechanical, Electrical,
Plumbing, Construction, and more will will find value to our topics of discussion as we explore our common bond and the world we all love...CAD and BIM Technologies.
