The Las Vegas strip is an iconic place displaying some of the nation’s most beautiful properties and now a project is being resurrected but with a new name, The Drew Las Vegas. Originally known as the Fountainbleu Las Vegas, the $2.5 billion resort project went bankrupt back in 2009 when the Great Recession hit and with this second chance, New York developer Steve Witkoff couldn’t be more excited.

This resort will feature a casino, retail space, and a wide array of entertainment including an 8-acre pool deck. It’s estimated time of completion is in the year 2020 and with Las Vegas becoming a new destination for Raiders fans, construction will be put on the fast track as they’ve got about 30 months to get it ready by the 2020 NFL season. Looks like the Las Vegas strip just got even better!

Brock's 3D scaffold model replaced 1,400+ standby hours with <25

Brock's 3D scaffold model replaced 1,400+ standby hours with <25

Brock Group executives Enrique Zavala and Brent Roscoe argue scaffolding belongs in the BIM model from the start of an industrial project. BIC Magazine reports one Brock 3D model replaced more than 1,400 budgeted standby hours with under 25 hours of rework. Peer-reviewed studies support BIM-based planning and forecasting, while noting scaffold modeling and laser scanning still demand specialized skills.

  • 01On one three-month project, BIC Magazine reports, a Brock 3D scaffold model left one minor field change and under 25 labor hours of rework against more than 1,400 budgeted standby hours.
  • 02A 2017 IAARC paper found scaffolding is usually left out of the BIM model, and a June 2024 MDPI case study found scan-to-BIM needs specialized equipment and skills, so the gains are not automatic.

CivDot robots shift surveyors to control and spot checks

CivDot robots shift surveyors to control and spot checks

On robotic layout jobs, the surveyor's work shifts to setting control and spot-checking the machine's marks.

  • 01On robotic layout jobs, the surveyor keeps the control network and the spot checks, the two tasks that decide whether thousands of machine-set marks are right.
  • 02Autonomy is furthest along where work is risky or expensive for people: offshore, underground and on utility-scale solar layout. Routine low-risk jobs are adopting it more slowly.

Snaptrude says its new AI agent builds LoD 400 BIM models in minutes

Snaptrude says its new AI agent builds LoD 400 BIM models in minutes

Snaptrude says its AI agent, Snaptrude Agent, can convert massing models into detailed LoD 400 BIM models in minutes. Users review the plan the agent proposes, then approve it or give further direction.

  • 01If Snaptrude's speed claim holds up, checking could become the slow part of a BIM job.
  • 02When agents add components to a shared team library automatically, library governance becomes a design-technology job. Firms on Organization or Enterprise plans should decide who approves those components before rollout.
