Technology Task Force MISSION STATEMENT (as ADOPTED at the December 12, 2001 Meeting in Atlanta, GA):

"To  enable the nation’s construction industry to build faster, better, safer and at less cost, the Technology Task Force will assemble, develop and demonstrate a set of tools to the National Alliance, jurisdictions, and construction industry that increase the effective use of information technology in the nation’s building regulatory process."

NIST HOSTS NATIONAL ALLIANCE TECHNOLOGY TASK FORCE. The Technology Task Force held their third meeting, March 26, 2002 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Task Force members finished work on several project deliverables, including the outline and needs statement for the creation of a secure, nationwide, state-managed database for first responders of as-built building designs, evacuation plans and other data.  Attendees also received a demonstration in NIST's Computer Integrated Construction Group (pictured left) of work being done to enhance the spread of interoperability of hardware and software within the nation's construction community.

PDA's MAKE BIG CHANGES POSSIBLE IN FIELD INSPECTION - NIST's Robert Lipman, of the Computer-Integrated Construction Group demonstrates one of the powerful new handheld (PDA) devices that building inspectors can now use in the field to review construction drawings (including 3-D). You can look at some of the work which NIST's CIC Group is doing by going to their website:  cic.nist.gov/lipman/
