Construction is facing a massive need for labor, thanks to years of suppressed supply and other constraints. Simultaneously, architects and engineers are facing less certain growth and uncertainty about job security due to automation—robotic process automation, or RPA, to be precise. I’m guessing that most of you have heard the term. We’ve all had to […]
Thursday Top Five – June 11, 2020
Hey, it’s Michael from ArchSmarter, This is well over the hundredth “Thursday Top 5” email I’ve sent out and it’s definitely the most uncomfortable to write.

Thursday Top Five – May 8, 2020
Hey, it’s Michael from ArchSmarter, This email was scheduled to go out yesterday. In fact, it was a good 80% done when all hell broke loose. First, one of my “co-workers” needed a snack. Then another “co-worker” needed help finding a Lego. Then a third “co-worker” got mad at the second “co-worker” and hit him […]
