Cross-Site Request Forgery
A malicious attack that exploits a security vulnerability to an authenticated user via a forged request that tricks the user into performing an unintended action, such as changing an account password or transferring money into an attacker's account.
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is a security vulnerability where an attacker tricks a user into performing actions without their consent. In construction management software, protecting against CSRF is crucial to safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining the integrity of project information.

Using BIM in Higher Education Construction
As the construction industry changes, higher education institutions have started to implement building information modeling (BIM) at a rapid pace. If architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) companies want to work with colleges and universities, they need to increase their familiarity with BIM. A Quick Recap: BIM’s Key Project Benefits Building information modeling offers a range […]

Streamlining Construction Projects with Effective BIM Coordination
The old saying goes: if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Construction professionals know this better than nearly anyone. To take a project from a vision in an owner’s mind to a design is one thing; to actually erect a useful, comfortable building is entirely another. It’s no surprise, then, that coordination is a […]

Connected Construction: Transforming the Industry Through Integration
Construction projects are becoming increasingly complex, so companies need to innovate to accurately and profitably complete these modern structures. Connected construction — using technology and data to improve communication, processes and outcomes — offers a comprehensive model for integrating digital tools to enhance collaboration and efficiency. This article will discuss the components of connected construction, […]

The Role of BIM in Sustainable Construction
Building information modeling (BIM) is transforming the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. With this kind of sophisticated modeling, the industry has shifted from designing in 2D to 3D. This helps teams visualize and optimize the project. The model can, for example, automate material takeoffs and enable clash detection. It’s a useful tool to make projects […]
