  1. While giving a nod to the article on ageism that also features in this current newsletter, as the author of countless reports during my 30+ year career, one of the earliest lessons I learned in the writing of technical reports and articles was that acronyms and abbreviations should always be written out in full when used for the first time. Just how are the uninitiated to keep up to date with developments when such articles contain no explanation of what is an ‘IFC model’ or a ‘CDE’? As to BIMwashing and overhypeing the benefits of BIM, I believe the ICE – that’s the ‘Institution of Civil Engineers’ to you – must carry some of the blame for that – expounding the benefits endlessly as it does.
