Talk:Vico Office as a project management tool

Latest revision as of 23:15, 19 February 2018

[edit] Abstract Feedback

Text Clarity; is not clear enough, check comments below

Language; Ok.

References; missing references related to the standards

Initially the abstract is not out of scope, if your article describes how procurement could be undertaken in a digital environment compared with traditional ways of procurement described in the standards.

However if you develop a VICO user guidelines, then the article will be out of scope.

The abstract lists, Model register-LBS Manager-Take-off Manager-Cost Planner-Schedule Planner-4D Simulation, that are different modules of the VICO workflows that will be out of scope.

Please check again the point 5, Individual Assignment of the Course handbook and Reference Reading material for the Wiki Assignment and Project Work.

I could only find one gramma correction in the abstract in the second sentence: "Before creating a method description on how to use Vico, there will first be a short introduction on how Vico are supporting the principles of BIM and why this Is such a strong BIM software." You should write "Is" with lower letter is.
