Hi,
Quick introduction: I am currently working for a big construction firm on a project installing fiber-optic cables for an internet provider. At the moment I am a measly street surveyor doing basic scrub-work. I have studied architecture for 3 years but did not get my degree due to "circumstances", I am 26 yrs old. After working in this company for a short while and seeing the problems they are faced with, I see an opportunity: what they need is a way to synchronize the various data files, deadlines/planning, issues, CAD-plans etc. for all the "players", both in the office and on the field.
Sounds to me like they could use some BIM-management (tools). I did a quick google and for the current problems facing our project Autocad 360 (docs) looks like the right fit.
Here's the problem: with my limited experience with CAD-programs, the current project, or general management, I am afraid to step up to my bosses and tell them; "Hey, you're doing it all wrong, you need this and this tool and you should do that and that in such a way."
So here's the question:
How do I educate myself (in my spare time) to get to a level where I could step up to my bosses (yes, plural ) with confidence and concrete solutions?
I am sorry if this is not the right sub-forum; please direct me in such case.
