Future Forward: Technology Repairs And Purchases

As the Head of Technology in a large school, I sometimes find my head spinning with maintenance issues. Not only do I have to organise repairs for computers, printers and copiers, but I am also responsible for acquiring up-to date equipment and software. This requires constant research to ensure value-for-money. I recently purchased new scanners and a 3D Printer which I hope will enhance the curriculum and provide valuable learning experiences. Over the years I have picked up numerous tricks-of-the-trade when it comes to hiring service personnel, negotiating technology contracts or purchasing new hardware and software. I’m hoping that these entries will be useful to others who are in the technology game and would like some guidance. I try to be future forward in my outlook, and maybe this blog will help you when making those big decisions. Thank you for taking the time to browse. Please enjoy.

4 Reasons Why New Property Developers Need 3D Modelling for Building Design
3D technology is increasingly benefiting the building design industry through the efficient creation of models that can be brought to life. New property developers can take advantage of this technology because it makes a project move faster, smoother and in a more organised manner. A developer can visualise the design and replicate the model as accurately as possible without any costly miscalculations. Here are some reasons why property developers need 3D model technology for building designs.

When developing a multi-story building, elevators are mandatory. However, an elevator is never complete without some form of communication for passengers. 4G lift phones have become compulsory and the go-to communication equipment for modern buildings, especially after the rollout of the NBN network in Australia. While 4G lift phones have excellent coverage, the environment within which lifts operate can block cellular coverage. It is especially the case if the elevators are centrally located such that thick walls surround them.
