VR In AEC: The Future Of Design Collaboration

Immersive collaboration is helping stakeholders produce better work, reduce inefficiencies and save costs across the delivery value chain. The AEC design environment is characterized by its reliance on multifarious collaborating parties spread across many different organizations and the entire project delivery lifecycle. In the AEC industry, collaboration typically involves interactions and collaborative decision-making amongst architects, building owners and operators, facility managers, construction professionals, contractors, engineering consultants, and building product manufacturers.

London’s commercial property market experiences increase in demand

Businesses looking to secure  Serviced Offices London  are being encouraged to act fast, with multiple sources confirming that the city’s commercial property market is experiencing an increase in demand, at a time where supply is minimal.

If your business is small, but growing, you might only need a desk for yourself, or you might be part of a small team of two or three.

If you’re thinking about working in London then you’ll have an enormous choice of Serviced Offices. First of all work out your budget and then you can pick your location according to how much you can afford. Most  Serviced Offices London   are rented out per desk or per square feet. The average office space for one person is between 75 and 100 square feet. Therefore if an office is available to rent at £65 per square foot, multiply it by the space you need, say 100 square feet, and divide the result by 12, you then have your monthly rental, which in this case would be £542 a month
