The profession is becoming increasingly comfortable with technology as it gains traction and grows in relevance and importance across the sector. Articles in this issue look at the role of technology in helping surveyors carry out daily tasks, outline the progress of building information modelling (BIM) in the UK, explain the regulations around flying drones, and caution that, although tablets are becoming ubiquitous in data capture, they are not always the right approach.
