How trickle down tech is benefiting SME's

18 July 2022

How has technology evolved over the last 30 years to support bills-of-quantities, quantity-take-off, and cost planning? Why has 5D BIM not been fully adopted? How has technology trickled down to SMEs? What tools should an SME choose? What are the benefits and limitations of Common Data Environments (CDEs)?

George Boyle speaks with Andrew Knight on these topics as they discuss the evolution of technology for bills-of-quantities, quantity-take-off, and cost estimation in the AEC sector.
