Demise of NCVDC

I am obliged to announce the demise of Northern California Virtual Design and Construction.

NCVDC was founded on the idea that construction industry professionals could and should improve our work processes to collaborate in a more mutually respectful and efficient manner. We wanted to develop tools for collaboration - technological and otherwise - and to simply expand the dialogue between designers and contractors to build relationships and better understand one anothers' needs and points of view.

We had a lot of great presentations and discussions, but we've come to the conclusion that NCVDC is no longer a viable group; that the infrastructure is simply insufficient to meet our goals. There are other better established and better supported groups in the Bay Area which tackle similar issues, and we will defer to them.

For those of you who participate in our affiliated SFDD (San Francisco Digital Design) breakfast meetings, please rest assured that those will continue. Check out the blog at San Francisco Digital Design.

Thank you to all the presenters and participants who shared their thoughts and engaged in the dialogue. I look forward to seeing you all again in other venues.
