From Email Threads to Model-First Approvals: Reducing Errors in Precast Concrete Projects
In the fast-paced world of construction, communication stands as a pivotal element that can dictate the success or failure of a project. Traditional email threads, while convenient, often lead to miscommunication and fragmented information, causing costly errors. However, with the rise of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and digital advancements, the transition to model-first approvals is revolutionizing the precast concrete industry. The Problem with Email Threads For yea
