BIM Conference for Executives

                                            Holman's is very excited to be hosting NevBIM: an upcoming community event for Nevada's building industry executives regarding the business value of BIM (Building Information Modeling). As I speak to people regarding their attendance I'm hearing these top three themes:

1. Business Development - Who couldn't use more work? Who has work and who are they doing it with? This event gives you and opportunity to network with peers. Maybe you will find a new consultant relationship or client...

2. Get Educated - A unique opporunity to hear BIM success stories from our marketplace directly from those who have lived and benefited from it. Be able to ask questions and provide input to the panel as well as Autodesk specialists.

3. Resources - Every attending will be provided access to a number of resources after the event allowing them to further their knowledge using whitepapers & other documents.

 
NevBIM will be held on Tuesday, June 14th, 2011 at The Las Vegas Springs Preserve in the Cathedral Banquet Room from 7:30AM to 12PM.

Holman's Supports Steiner's Pub

On Friday May 20th, Holman's had three teams participate in the Steiner's Semi-Now Annual Golf Tournament. It was a gorgeous day to get out of the office and play a round in the sun! Roger Sachs & company sure know how to throw a party. In addition to free drinks, many interesting games were played on the holes, and afterwards there was a pub party with lots of giveaways. The Holman's team have participated in this event several times and recommend it to everyone!

 

We highly enjoy our working relationship with Steiner's, taking care of their IT needs. They now offer wifi at all three of their locations.

Be sure to check them out for happy hour soon! http://steinerspub.com/

Holman's & H&S supports SNALS

On Saturday, May 14th, some of the Holman's and H&S staff got a chance to get out and enjoy the park with our local land surveyor community.

 
 
Participation in the Nevada Association of Land Surveyors is a very rewarding opportunity to work together with your peers to promote the profession of land surveying.

Holman's supports Nevada High School CAD Teachers

Last week, Joe Schmidt, VP of CAD and BIM Solutions at Holman's, had the pleasure to attend the kickoff of a two day conference for all Nevada CAD Tearchers at CSN - Western Campus. It was old home week for Joe, being a by product of CAD instruction when he attended a technical academy.

During the breakfast Holman's sponsored one of the speakers referenced the importance of Career & Technical Education (CTE). He referenced a recent Harvard report: Pathways to Prosperity. It's definately worth a read.

Teachers we're attending a number of development & skill building sessions including Autodesk Revit & Inventor technical training.

Thank you to Bob Diaz from CSN for putting on this event and allowing Holman's to participate.

Hi-Definition Scanning: Leica ScanStation C10 Workshop

This past April 2011, Joshua Vandiver of Leica Geosystems visited Holman's and gave an excellent demonstration of the new Leica ScanStation C10 to a group of Holman's and H&S customers. Surveyors, Inspectors, Project Managers, and Designers alike took part in the workshop to learn how to integrate Hi-Definition Scanning into their current as-built workflow in order to increase speed and accuracy and reduce risk.

For the first part of the demonstration, Joshua performed a scan in front of the Holman's office.

  

After the scan was complete, Joshua brought the audience inside to examine the data of the scan that was just performed using Leica Cyclone 7.1 SCAN laser scanner control software and Leica TruView panoramic point cloud viewer.

 
 
Call H&S at (702)777-2030. to learn more about the Leica ScanStation C10, Cyclone 7.1, and TruView.

My iPAD 2 has arrived! Autodesk Apps and More...

It's been three weeks of anticipation waiting for the arrival of my iPAD 2. Last week it finally got here. Here are some of the first things I did with my iPAD 2:

1. Installed Buzzsaw Mobile & AutoCAD WS - in less than 5 minutes I accessed our Buzzsaw site, downloaded an AutoCAD drawing & measured a distance. I see this helping our AEC (Architects, Engineers & Contractors) clients move information more quickly from the office to the field & back.

   

2. Installed Flipboard - A new age digital newspaper/magazine

3. Setup my Holman's corporate exchange activesync for email, calendar & contacts

4. Setup Drop box - I use this to make certain files available for viewing on iPad (PDF brochures/documents, Powerpoint presentations, etc.)

5. Tested iPod by playing a movie (The Dark Knight) & music (Journey - Don't stop believen')

It's been fun so far! Where should I go next? Anybody have any iPAD app recommendations? Please check back to hear more on my journey to utilize my iPAD 2 to make progress in the world of AEC...
