Ex. 1. Read and translate the text, do the exercises given below.
In the latter part of the 20th century computer-aided design
(CAD) emerged, changing construction irrevocably. While CAD
vastly transformed the role of designers, Building Information Management (BIM) allowed architects, engineers, contractors, and subcontractors to collaborate on the fine details of design and construction
by using the same database and computer model.
Mobile technology has transformed the construction industry in
several ways. Using smartphones and tablets, all parties involved can
work together using the same consolidated information sources, ensuring no one is left out of the loop, no matter where they are. Mobile
devices have also enabled real-time analytics in construction, and
Text 1

reporting apps mean all parties can access analytic insights, whether
on site or in the office.
Cloud computing is at the root of construction's digital revolution. Now, there is no need to rely on the device storage capabilities.
Not only does cloud computing simplify data storage and access; it
protects you from data loss, damage, or theft. Secure cloud storage
safeguards data while making it more accessible to the team.
A digital twin or digital as-built is a virtual replica of a physical
asset that gives real-time data in all phases of construction and maintenance. These digital representations can be used to predict carbon footprints, simulate scenarios, and collect real-time data via installed sensors. Owners use digital twins and as-builts to gather design and build
information that helps them make faster decisions about operational
and maintenance costs. On-site, digital twins and as-builts allow for
material and labor predictions.
As the construction industry looks for ways to reduce carbon
emissions, they are turning to more sustainable ways of building. This
includes using sustainable building materials, such as Cross-Laminated Timber, reclaimed wood, bamboo, recycled rubber and a long
list of innovative materials. Some of them actually absorb and trap
carbon dioxide, meaning they are carbon-neutral.

Real estate property management plays an important role. It may
sound as easy as just collecting rent and occasional maintenance, but
it is so much more than that. Property management brings some major
risks with it as well.
The primary pain point for property management firms is to
manage their data securely. A good property management solution can
help them manage profiles of customers, sellers, properties, and so on.
They can store and process huge chunks of data and help customers
and agents find appropriate properties with indicated parameters.
Provide better navigation to guide visitors to their pages of interest. Make sure you provide an interactive user interface (UI) and
Text 1

a platform for a well-arranged menu. Your property management tech
should allow you to implement a comprehensive categorization in
terms of the type of property, the number of rooms, garage, balcony,
other details like amenities, etc. It must allow you to add custom categories too. Enable the buyers to create their Wishlist, this will also help
you to serve personalized listings.
Comprehensive entity management features like media management, customer management, broker management, etc., are important
in many ways. As a property management firm, you must have access
to add, manage and define access to various sellers, brokers, customers, and agents. You need full admin control to add, edit, delete and
manage user profiles and their roles.
If the buyers have shortlisted properties, their immediate next
step would be to schedule a tour. They would physically want to see
the property. This is why tour scheduling plays an important role in
property management. Buyers must be able to book a tour whenever
they want. Manage your tours easily by integrating a calendar into
your property management system. This enables the buyers to directly check the availability of visits and book a tour without contacting anyone.
Video tours have become quite popular now. Agents and managers simply have to compile videos of the said property to provide
a better idea to the buyers. Allow your sellers to add videos of different
parts of the property, different views, and even a testimonial video.
