Major Differences Between Traditional 2D CAD Design and BIM Implementation

As a highly qualified expert in architecture and expertise in Technology, IoT, and the BIM process from reputable institutions, a former Multidisciplinary Design Manager of a reputable firm with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality projects that offer a wide range of services in engineering, project management, and design, I can precisely provide an explanation of the major differences between Traditional 2D CAD Design and the implementation of BIM (Building Information Modeling), as well as the problems and causes of sticking with 2D traditional CAD design for real estate developers or construction companies in the AEC industry:

Major Differences between Traditional 2D CAD Design and BIM Implementation:

Traditional 2D Design:

Involves creating separate 2D drawings for different disciplines (e.g., architectural, structural, MEP).

Lacks coordination and integration between drawings, leading to potential clashes and errors during construction.

Requires manual coordination and cross-referencing of drawings, increasing the likelihood of discrepancies and rework.

Limits visualization and understanding of the building design in a 3D context, hindering communication and decision-making.

There were numerous or thousands of clashes like this throughout the entire construction due to the lack of BIM implementation and the requirements from stakeholders since the beginning. This lack of coordination and communication resulted in delays, higher costs, and frustration among the project team. It became evident that without proper BIM implementation and early stakeholder involvement, the project was bound to encounter various challenges and setbacks. Ultimately, the significance of utilizing BIM and involving stakeholders from the start was undeniable, and valuable lessons were gained for future projects.

Why demolish when you can always prevent this small problem during the design stage with BIM in this 21st century? Demolition is not only costly and time-consuming but also wasteful. By utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology during the design phase, potential issues can be identified and resolved before construction even begins. This proactive approach not only saves resources but also ensures a smoother building process with fewer setbacks. In the 21st century, with advanced processes like BIM at our disposal, there is no excuse for overlooking preventable problems that may lead to demolition.

BIM Implementation:

Utilizes a single, coordinated 3D model that integrates architectural, structural, and MEP elements.

Enables real-time collaboration and data sharing among project stakeholders, improving coordination and reducing conflicts.

Facilitates automated clash detection, quantity take-offs, cost estimation, and scheduling through 4D and 5D simulations.

Enhances visualization, analysis, and communication of building designs, leading to more informed decision-making and better project outcomes.

Major Problems and Causes of Sticking with 2D Traditional CAD Design:

Lack of Coordination: Traditional 2D design often results in fragmented drawings that lack coordination between disciplines, leading to clashes and coordination issues during construction.

Increased Rework: Manual coordination and cross-referencing of 2D drawings can lead to errors, discrepancies, and rework, impacting project timelines and budgets.

Limited Visualization: 2D drawings limit the ability to visualize and understand the building design in a holistic 3D context, hindering communication and collaboration among project teams.

Inefficient Data Exchange: Traditional CAD design may involve manual data transfer and conversion between different software platforms, leading to data loss, inaccuracies, and inefficiencies in information exchange.

Real estate developers and construction companies in the AEC industry may face challenges and inefficiencies by sticking with 2D traditional CAD design, including increased coordination issues, rework, limited visualization capabilities, and inefficient data exchange. Embracing BIM implementation can address these issues by providing a collaborative, integrated, and data-rich environment that enhances project coordination, communication, decision-making, and overall project efficiency in the construction industry.

Drawing Lessons from Cambodia's Success: Towards Rice Self-Sufficiency in Africa

March 29, 2024

Cambodia currently ranks 10th among the world's largest rice producers, both for domestic consumption and export, according to the Cambodia Rice Federation. Much of this success can be attributed to the visionary leadership of former Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen, whose strategic policies have transformed the country's rice sector. As African nations grapple with the challenge of achieving rice self-sufficiency and reducing dependency on imports, there are valuable lessons to be gleaned from Cambodia's success.

1. Investment in Quality Rice Seed Distribution

One of the cornerstones of Cambodia's rice success story lies in its investment in the development and distribution of quality rice seeds. By prioritizing research and development in agriculture, Cambodia has been able to breed high-yielding, disease-resistant rice varieties suited to its local conditions. This investment has not only boosted productivity and yields but has also empowered smallholder farmers to improve their livelihoods.

African countries can draw inspiration from Cambodia's approach by investing in similar initiatives tailored to their unique agro-climatic contexts. For instance, Nigeria, with its diverse ecological zones, could invest in breeding rice varieties optimized for different regions, from the humid south to the arid north. By ensuring widespread access to these improved seeds, African nations can catalyze agricultural transformation and drive towards self-sufficiency.

Real Case Study - Senegal: Senegal provides a pertinent case study in this regard. The Senegalese government, recognizing the importance of quality seeds, launched the National Seed Program to promote the adoption of certified seeds among rice farmers. Through partnerships with research institutions and private sector stakeholders, Senegal has seen significant increases in rice yields, contributing to its goal of rice self-sufficiency.

2. Setting Ambitious Export Targets

Cambodia's ambitious target of exporting 1 million tonnes of rice by 2025 serves as a testament to the power of setting clear, ambitious goals. This target not only propelled the country towards greater self-sufficiency but also incentivized stakeholders across the value chain to work collaboratively towards a shared vision.

African countries can emulate Cambodia's approach by setting their own ambitious export targets and implementing supportive policies to achieve them. Take Ghana, for example, which has set a goal to become a net exporter of rice by 2023. Through targeted investments in infrastructure, technology, and farmer training, Ghana aims to not only meet domestic demand but also tap into regional markets, contributing to economic growth and rural development.

3. Strengthening Trade Agreements

Cambodia's success in securing trade agreements for the import of Cambodian rice with key partners such as China, Indonesia, and the European Union has been instrumental in expanding market access and driving export growth. These agreements have provided Cambodia with stable markets and enhanced its competitiveness on the global stage.

African nations can learn from Cambodia's experience by prioritizing regional and international trade agreements to facilitate the movement of rice across borders. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) presents a significant opportunity for intra-African trade in rice, with the potential to create a single market of over 1.3 billion people. By leveraging platforms like AfCFTA and bilateral agreements, African countries can unlock new markets, attract investment, and bolster their rice sectors.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Cambodia's journey towards rice self-sufficiency and export competitiveness offers valuable insights for African countries seeking to transform their own agricultural sectors. By investing in quality seed distribution, setting ambitious export targets, and strengthening trade agreements, African nations can emulate Cambodia's success and realize their potential as rice-producing powerhouses. Through shared experiences, strategic partnerships, and concerted efforts, Africa can chart a path towards food security, economic prosperity, and sustainable development for generations to come. Let us heed the lessons of Cambodia and embark on a collective journey towards a brighter, more prosperous future for all.

Every day, workers at I-Soon were targeting big fish. Government agencies of China’s neighbours, including Kyrgyzstan, Thailand, Cambodia, Mongolia and Vietnam, had websites or email servers compromised, the leak revealed. There are long lists of targets, from British government departments to Thai ministries. I-Soon staff also boasted in leaked chats that they secured access to telecom service providers in Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Thailand and Malaysia, among others. They named the government of India – a geopolitical rival of Beijing’s – as a key target for “infiltration”. And they claimed to have secured back-end access to higher education institutions in Hong Kong and self-ruled Taiwan, which China claims as part of its territory. But they also admitted to having lost access to some of their data seized from government agencies in Myanmar and South Korea. Other targets are domestic, from China’s northwestern region of Xinjiang to Tibet and from illegal pornography to gambling rings.

Common Challenges and Solutions in Achieving SOC 2 Compliance

SOC 2 Certification in Algeria - The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) created SOC 2, a voluntary compliance standard for service organizations that outlines how businesses should handle client data. The following Trust Services Criteria serve as the foundation for the standard: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

An audit report known as SOC 2 (System and company Controls 2) certifies the reliability of services rendered by a service company. It is frequently used to evaluate the hazards connected to software solutions that are outsourced and maintain client data online.

What are the Benefits of SOC 2 ?

Enhanced Credibility and Trust: By demonstrating a dedication to data security and privacy, SOC 2 certification enhances a business's standing. This certification builds trust with partners and clients, which may lead to new business prospects.

Enhanced Data Security: SOC 2 Implementation in Brazil helps in  Adopting strict security measures necessary to achieve SOC 2 compliance, which greatly lowers the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access. This strengthens the organization's overall security posture in addition to protecting sensitive data.

Competitive Advantage: SOC 2 accreditation can be a crucial difference, separating a business from rivals in a market that is becoming more and more data-conscious. It conveys to prospective customers that the company upholds strict data protection guidelines, which makes it a more appealing option.

Operational Improvement: Finding and fixing operational inefficiencies is a common result of the SOC 2 compliance procedure. Better organizational discipline and more efficient, streamlined procedures follow, especially in data handling and security procedures.

Regulatory Compliance: SOC 2 supports and conforms to a number of data protection rules and regulations, including GDPR in the EU and HIPAA in the healthcare industry, even though it is not a regulatory requirement in and of itself. By doing this, firms are able to avoid the financial and legal consequences of non-compliance.

How much does the SOC 2 Cost?

The SOC 2 Cost in Cambodia can vary based on several factors such as the nature of the service, the size of the company, the complexity of operations, and the chosen certification body. Apart from the pricing influenced by industry standards, the total cost for achieving SOC 2 compliance in managing data security and privacy is also affected by the specific certification body selected and the extent of services they offer.

What is the SOC 2 Audit process?

Pre-Planning and Assessment: The organization assesses its present security measures against SOC 2 criteria as part of the pre-assessment phase of the process. After that, a strategy is created to close any gaps and get ready for the audit.

Implementation of Security measures: To satisfy the SOC 2 Audit in Lebanon requirements, the company installs or improves security measures. Documenting rules, practices, and technological safeguards to protect data and guarantee compliance is part of this.

Internal Audit and Testing: To evaluate the efficacy of the installed controls, an internal audit is carried out prior to the official audit. Testing provides proof of compliance by confirming that the controls are functioning as planned.

SOC 2 Audit by Third-Party: The formal SOC 2 audit is carried out by a certified independent auditor. To make sure they are in line with SOC 2 requirements, they evaluate the organization's controls, policies, and processes. System testing, document checks, and interviews are possible components of the audit.

SOC 2 Report Issue: The auditor issues a SOC 2 report following the audit's successful conclusion. 

There are two types: SOC 2 Type II tests the operational effectiveness of these controls over a set length of time, usually at least six months, and SOC 2 Type I evaluates the suitability of the control design at a certain point in time. The company may then show its dedication to data security and privacy by sharing this report with stakeholders and clients.

How to get the SOC 2 Certification services ?

For achieving SOC 2 certification services in Oman, it is advisable to partner with a renowned consulting firm with a global standing, such as SOC2Masters. Widely acknowledged for their expertise in audits, guidance, and validation services, SOC2Masters is well-equipped to assist you throughout the SOC 2 certification process and its protocols.

There is a thin line between freedom and cage

In 2024 the freedom of expression is not take for granted. Your country, your society, your home and environment force you to think inside the box. In some countries there is this thin line between freedom and cage. It’s often unclear even to the initiated, where the boundary lies, as it moves all the time. The laws are framed in vague language: they often appear to be applied arbitrarily and randomly.

In these years, internet has gone from being seen as the first resource of information and freedom to express as an inhibition of human freedom, to a source of myriad national security threats.

In most of the country in Asia the freedom of expression is limited from the government who have the monopoly of the internet, social media and news with the excuse of protection, safeguard your rights and safety. With this excuse they enter the house of their citizens, without you knowing and starting put a boundary to your freedom. Every news needs to be approved by the government and whoever published or posts something, has to be conscious of the consequences.

The Chinese government first encouraged internet growth for business, entertainment, education, and information sharing, but it was closely monitored to prevent dissent, and the spread of Western ideas. To ending up as one of the coutry with the most strict rules and censorship in the world.

Most of south east Asia has been registered to sit in the bottom half of the World Press Freedom Index. The manipulation and control of media has been getting worse during the COVID 19 pandemic. Any news related to the virus or related to Hong Kong and safety during that period were strictly monitored, the information able to rich the Occident where filtered or altered from the government. And that was just the beginning, the number of blocked sites, as documented by independent internet monitors, is on the rise. (World Press Dreedom, statistics years between 2019 to 2023 South Asia)

Consequently, the government in China takes advantage of the situation for monitoring the network and social platforms and start creating new laws to keep on checking the privacy of people. Other south east countries like Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia take the same lead and perpetrate a policy of no tolerance regardless of news and social media. (Freedom of expression under threat in Southeast Asia article by Bill Heyton, Chatman House)

They shut down riots, social community and journalists that were not concord with the government and banning web site and page on Facebook Instagram and twitter. For exemple another tech giant, Apple, which produces and sells devices in China, is hiding the Taiwanese flag emoji for users in Hong Kong or Macau.(Apple removes Taiwan flag emoji in Hong Kong by Antony Cuthbertson, Independent)

Indeed, the development of new technology like AI (artificial intelligence) can take to the worse-case scenario is that the growing ability of the state to capture and control the internet will kill the ability of the opposition, the media, and activists across the country, entrenching existing ruling parties and give more power to the military. This could have the side effects of increasing corruption and exacerbating inequality. Until you realize that your freedom is not real. (The Rapid Rise of Censorship in Southeast Asia by Nithin Coca, The Diplomat)

Another form of censorship is common:

self-censorship. Individuals or institutions

internalise threats to modify their own

behaviour or actions, such as avoiding certain

topics to escape undue attention or potential

retaliatory actions. Recently, many Chinese citizens have developed different tactics to avoiding censorship on social media platforms. According to data collected by the citizen lab, more than 9,054 keywords are banned and to keep communicating they use alternative words or abbreviation.

Social media platforms have no intention to lose one of the most high numbers of consumers. Also because the consequences could be that international platforms will be replaced by domestic alternatives in markets. Nearly one out of every six people lives in China. It is the second-largest economy in the world, and a large portion of its private sector answers ultimately to the Communist China Party. For this reason they close their eyes and allow the government to manipulate the information and filter the news to keep the users. (interviw to Dean Jackson, International Forum for Democratic Studies of the National Endowment for Democracy by Yen-Zhi Peng, NBR of Asian Research). The same is for the cinema industry that is forced to standardize the movie to China censorship if they want to be part of the box office. Being one of the most powerful and populated country makes a huge difference if you want to have a voice on the market.

The social media platform, news and political movement are not the only one receive censorship and limited on actions. Also art and artists are banned or forced to hide and delete their art if nor concord with the CCP rules. China have a urge impact in the world of art. Indeed, The Chinese art market continues to grow and in

2022, was ranked second largest, behind the US. For example despite receiving extensive

funding from China, galleries such

as the Tate Modern in London

freely exhibit the works of dissidents and artists banned from China with few noticeable

repercussions. Unfortunately, other institutions, not as strong as Tate or small galleries sometimes need to conciliate with the Chinese government since they receive the founding, as a result for the artist to not have a voice and opportunity to exhibit their art.

It is a constant worry for many artists who left Hong Kong or China with the intention of never returning, receiving constant threats from the government with the possibility of endangering those close to you. But many other artists have to maintain their cooperation with Chinese institutions in order to keep their income and influence and continue to travel freely between China and Europe. (article How the CCP censor art in Europe by Index on censorship)

Art, social media, news, journal, movies and books are today one of the most powerful tools to challenge the status quo and to stand up for human rights where repression are strong and dominate. Having your freedom to express yourself is your right and no one has the authority to take it from you, help or conceal this action make you a criminal as much as the perpetrator.

Firms involved in the digital currency project are GMO Aozora Net Bank, DeCurret crypto exchange, and Internet Initiative Japan The project focuses on clean energy transactions A group of Japanese fintech firms is planning to launch a digital currency pegged to Yen, the national currency, under the ticker DCJPY. DeCurret shared the details via a press release on 12 October. Japanese internet bank GMO Aozora Net Bank will issue DCJPY. Local crypto-exchange DeCurret will facilitate these transactions over its blockchain-backed network, backed by bank deposits. (Singapore-headquartered Amber Group acquired DeCurret in February 2022). The telecom firm Internet Initiative Japan will then use it to settle clean energy certificates. The currency is slated to launch by July 2024. DeCurret’s statement underlined, “Unlike stablecoins, DeCurret DCP’s DCJPY Network turns bank deposits into digital currency on the blockchain.” Japan’s 2022 stablecoin law makes way for crypto-projects The latest is among a long list of fiat currency-pegged digital currency projects launched in Japan in recent months. Let us take a trip down the memory lane to find out what enabled the launch of such ventures in the Land of the Rising Sun. In June 2022, Japan’s parliament passed a legal framework around stablecoins. The bill categorizes stablecoins as digital money linked to the yen or other legal tender(s). Drafted by the Financial Services Agency (FSA), it enables banks, trust companies, and transfer operators to issue them. Once the FSA grants permission, these institutions can issue stablecoins. In March, GU Technologies, a Web3 firm, shared via a press release that three Japanese banks will use its infrastructure to experiment on a stablecoin system. The project will take place over a public blockchain compatible with Ethereum [ETH]. The three banking institutions involved are Tokyo Kiraboshi Financial Group, Minna no Bank, and the Shikoku Bank. In August, Nikkei Asia reported that a blockchain startup Soramitsu was developing a cross-border payment system for Asian countries. Building upon the CBDC projects of Cambodia and Laos, the project planned to expand to other Asian countries like India and China. Soramitsu also intended to establish an exchange in Japan focusing on stablecoins. Last month, it emerged that Binance [BNB] Japan was collaborating with a subsidiary of the Japanese financial giant, the Mitsubishi USJ Financial Group, to launch stablecoins. These stablecoins would be pegged to the Yen and USD.

Strategies for Optimizing Cassava Export to the Lucrative Chinese Market

The Chinese market remains a paramount destination for cassava imports globally, driven by governmental support and its versatile applications across industries, including bioethanol, industrial production, food, and animal feed.

Yet, capitalizing on this thriving market demands strategic maneuvering. Despite substantial annual export quantities (exceeding 1 million MT per exporter per contract) and competitive payment terms, Chinese buyers often push for lower prices, necessitating a savvy approach to streamline operations and curtail production costs.

Outlined below are crucial focus areas to elevate your export operations:

Tailored Cassava Cultivation: Align cultivation practices with specific market demands, catering to food, bioethanol, or other industrial purposes.

Contract Farming Enhancement: Bolster cassava field production by fostering enduring partnerships with farmers' cooperatives, ensuring a sustained and reliable supply chain.

Operational Optimization: Improve processing efficiency by implementing round-the-clock operations, including incentivizing night shifts and holiday production to meet soaring monthly delivery demands.

Streamlined Logistics: Establish a warehouse proximate to the loading port to mitigate shipping delays, crucial when dealing with thousands of containers monthly.

Advanced Warehouse Monitoring: Equip your warehouse with state-of-the-art monitoring devices to track crucial factors like moisture and humidity, ensuring the preservation of processed cassava quality.

Strategic Financial Partnerships: Overcome financial constraints by forging alliances with institutions in Singapore, Dubai, or the European Union for more favorable LC or SBLC monetization terms.

GACC License Preparation: Begin the GACC license application process early, as it can take up to 6 months. This step is crucial for agricultural product exporters to China.

These recommendations stem from our direct experiences as cassava exporters to China. The Chinese market's intricacies demand a comprehensive strategy encompassing strategic cultivation, efficient processing, seamless logistics, and innovative financial partnerships. Optimizing the entire value chain empowers companies to navigate challenges effectively and capitalize on the abundant opportunities presented by this high-demand market.
