Welcome to 2023! I have had a bit of a shake up of the ADDD sharing and development, last year we had an incredible 5000 visitors to the site which is a huge increase year on year. The aim for this year is to grow this audience and also develop more unique content.

For the coming year there will be the following new features;

Weekly YouTube videos sharing news videos on construction technology, Contech and Proptech, and primarily new software in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) which are more in depth and offer insights. These will be longer format than they have been previously and more explanatory.

I am going to create YouTube videos are going to share new software in use, compare these head to head, and review this software taken from a database of 500 AEC software available which I have. The frequency will be bi-weekly.

Let me know any feedback you may have on this!

Please follow our new YouTube channel – new content each week! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1zFhxCZnQATJJ7r4oyhJ2A

The shift to the cloud and tokenization
The use of gaming software in AEC
Their thoughts on generative design
Their own consulting and education adventures
The impact of AI on the AEC industry
Their favourite tools, art, music, books, podcasts, and movies of 2022

GENERATIVE DESIGN

Proptech trends: Archistar founder Dr Ben Coorey on what to expect in 2023. Ben discusses:

Google Maps for the property industry
Generative design creates 3D building designs and home floor plans in real time
Fast-tracking development with automatic compliance assessment

Ben believes that innovation will become increasingly focused on immediate use cases which have a viable commercial model. Which makes total sense. Secondly, this technology is here to stay. Which also makes sense and sounds incredibly cool!

TECHNOLOGY
