How implementing digital desktop project management technology can revolutionize the architecture, engineering and construction industry’s communication, efficiency and overall project completion.
When Lord Norman Foster & Partners designed the Harmon Hotel as a non-gaming boutique, spa center, and upscale resort at CityCenter Las Vegas, the company did not predict that the project would be cut in half...literally. In 2008, when detrimental flaws were discovered during inspection of the building, work on the Harmon Hotel was halted. After surveying many of the building's defects, architects and designers had to backtrack and redesign the hotel, reducing it from forty-nine stories to twenty-eight. Due to the drastic design alterations, time constraints, budget cuts, and lack of communication, construction of the Harmon Hotel was delayed indefinitely and is to be demolished completely by 2012.
