Sketch Up 3D Construction Modeling

Last night (Tuesday; Oct 24) I bagan to play with a planning process developed by Dr Dennis Fukai of the University of Florida (www.insitebuilders.com). The process uses Google Sketch Up to plan and actually layout the construction of small homes - step by step. By pre-building a range of construction "components", it is possible to actually map the building process on the computer screen.

This is a very important technique; much more on this later. Sufficent to say at this time --- it is potentually a very powerful tool in our quest to pre-plan and improve the efficiency of building 'Small Homes".
