Editor's
viewpoint This issue includes stories about documentation, tech-
nology and legislation – all related to the interplay and co-
ordination between owners, architects, engineers and
contractors. The goals: To reduce friction, enhance co-
operation, and ensure payments are reasonably prompt.

Documentation relates to the CCDC resources, includ-
ing the new CCDC 30 for Integrated Project Delivery
(IPD), setting out contract rules where the design and
construction team co-ordinate their work and share in the
risk (and rewards for successful results). Technological
changes have the potential to truly disrupt the AEC indus-
try and shatter long-standing business norms. Finally,
while specific to Ontario, the new provincial Construction
Act has become the model for impending federal legisla-
tion, and several other provinces are developing their
own prompt payment and adjudication systems based on
the new Ontario rules.

These are exciting times for the AEC industry, and I ex-
pect the rewards will be immense if you embrace the
changes (and you may run into problems if you stick your
head in the sand and refuse to adapt or implement new
business practices and technologies.)

nouncements. You can reach me at
