As an engineer with the general contractor Saw Em$-$Off Construction $($SEOC$)$ management firm, you have been appointed to an in$-$house team assembled to review and assess the digital transformation currently underway for contractors as the firm attempts to further evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of technology and software applications.

Assignment: You have been appointed to lead an in$-$house team assembled to develop a "technology evaluation" based upon a recent Trimble Construction article entitled "Construction Technology Trends for $2023$: Top $8$ Picks $($LINK$)".$ As the team$-$member with the most technology and software applications $($or most potential$),$ you have been asked to read the Trimble article, as well as Dodge Smart Market Report entitled "Connected Construction: The General Contractors' Perspective $($found in week $13$ reading folder$)".$ You are required to create at least two samples of output, and an evaluation memo for the executive management team.

Format $--$ Two outputs are required:

A$.$ Develop at least two example outputs that demonstrates what the technology$/$software can do$.$ No requirements on what platform you need to use $($Autodesk$,$ Procore, Bentley, Trimble, etc.$).$ No specific requirement on outputting the files other than you must submit paper and electronic files to me $($assume I am the chair of the executive management team$).$

B$.$ Summary memo of technology outputs $($model A shows XYZ$,$ etc.$),$ documenting advantages$/$disadvantages of using technology and software applications targeted towards construction. The memo should also include current market conditions as noted in the Dodge Smart Market Report $($fewer than half of surveyed general contractors and construction managers are currently using digital workflows, those who are experience critical benefits like improved productivity, better decision$-$making, faster delivery and improved quality on their projects.$).$

The summary memo style should be that of a formal business memo with a header and body, with adequate top, bottom, and side margins. The memo should be no more than $3$ pages long. You may append the memo with figures, tables, etc. $-$ no limit on length of what is attached to the memo.

You should use some variation the following analysis framework that consists of:

General description of the technology and software applications output and the advantages$/$disadvantages of these tools.

$2.$ Discuss the critical issues $($pros and cons$)$ encountered.

Conclude with recommendations base on outputs and the experience with creating the material.

Assumptions are required. Working with construction$-$related technology and software applications and the write$-$ups should represent only the work of a single student. You may work and discuss the case with other students, but the output files and the
