Important cost savings deadlines!

We are approaching the deadline to get in on the AIBD Design & Build Summer Conference hotel block.

Find the hotel information on the conference registration page and book your room before the price goes up.

P.S. It can be a bit tricky for companies when holidays land in the middle of the week.

The challenge arises during those in-between days, it may be difficult to reach some A-Team members beyond just Thursday this week.

Your patience is appreciated, as we'll be fully back in action next Monday.

I follow a SoftPlan user group on social media. Recently, someone posted a question about configuring a particular door style, including a screenshot of a floor plan.
