Procore customers can now automatically update SharePoint and Procore libraries simultaneously with a new SharePoint Two-Way Sync integration and connector, built on Procore Construction OS and is available in the App Marketplace. SharePoint Two-Way Sync shares and mirrors files and documents in both SharePoint and Procore libraries through a new connector created by HingePoint, a Dallas-based company that integrates and architects SharePoint for better data management. The SharePoint Two-Way Sync brings Microsoft’s enterprise-grade document libraries right into Procore, with two-way, real-time sync of folders and documents. When a folder is updated in SharePoint, it updates in Procore. If a file is deleted in Procore, it is deleted in SharePoint. “This is not an embedded form that anyone can access, it's an actual API integration that lets SharePoint and Procore libraries mirror one another while having the security of both systems," HingePoint CEO and Founder Bryce Finnerty said. “If you are a user with rights to a Procore project and you’re a SharePoint user with rights to a document library, you can access the synced files." A growing number of construction companies use SharePoint as their system of record to store important data about employees, contracts and project status. This connector eliminates multiple repositories of documents in both Procore and SharePoint and connects the construction unit to the rest of the company. The new integration HingePoint provides for Procore reflects each organization’s commitment to openness and building out the construction technology ecosystem. With the new connector, companies can automatically and securely sync files between Procore and SharePoint or Office 365, which will save time and confusion when managing project documents. It also creates better collaboration with the teams that are not in the construction space.
Leveraging SharePoint’s API with Procore’s open system, this integration automates document sync, saving time and effort of updating two systems that tracks and reports documents. This integration allows everyone – from the owner to the general contractor – to have access to relevant documents needed to finish a project.
“We’re excited for the SharePoint connector from HingePoint to launch on the App Marketplace as it will have an immediate impact for our users who will be able to take advantage of it,” said Laura Paciano, Senior Manager, Partner Programs, at Procore. “We first began talking with HingePoint about an integration at Groundbreak, which was just over five months ago, so for the connector to now be ready is a testament to their commitment to the construction industry and value of the App Marketplace.”
HingePoint integrates software so data can move from one system to another. They specialize in building custom tools that detect and collect data, so a business can project trends about their business.

If you know anything about Toyota North America headquarters, you probably heard it is moving to Plano, Texas. They are building a remarkable new headquarters building near Legacy West. But what you might not know is that Toyota has revolutionized how companies and organizations around the world work together through something called lean. Lean is a philosophical approach created by Toyota in the 1930s to eliminate waste so you can better serve customers. "Being Toyota's neighbor in Plano is outstanding," HingePoint CEO and Founder Bryce Finnerty said. "We not only eliminate waste for our clients who are doing redundant work because of the software they are using, we have adopted the philosophy in our own work." The HingePoint team has been reading “2 Second Lean” by Paul Akers for about a year now. We read a page in our morning, 30-minute huddle, and we all try to “lean out” our workflow. Akers, who sent a personal message to the HingePoint team via YouTube, said lean is very simple and it should not be complicated. "Lean is simply the elimination of waste by taking every process that you do every day and just removing that waste and making it a little more efficient and easier for you to do," Akers said. "Lean should make your work more enjoyable. If it does that you're going to be more productive, the quality is going to go up, the customer is going to win, the company is going to win and you're going to win." Lean thinking is spreading. According to the Lean Enterprise Institute, almost all industries are applying lean thinking to their businesses: logistics and distribution, services, retail, healthcare, construction, maintenance, and government. “Indeed, lean consciousness and methods are only beginning to take root among senior managers and leaders in all sectors today,” according to the Lean Enterprise Institute, But what exactly does 'lean out' mean? When we say “lean out your work,” we’re saying, “See where you are wasting time or resources and fix it.” Be like Toyota, and lean thinking will vastly improve your business. If you only save two seconds on repetitive tasks, those seconds start adding up if you continuously improve. And if you take the philosophy to heart, you can lean out your life both personally or professionally. Another good way to lean out your workflow is to fix what bugs you. Actually, all HingePointers are paid 40 minutes Tuesday through Friday to find something that bugs them and to fix it. We’ve had employees redesign entire personal offices to learning more Excel keyboard shortcuts. You can see a list of more examples below. So Why is Toyota and Lean Important? Toyota vastly improved Henry Ford’s assembly line, by seeing how they could eliminate waste. Toyota called the philosophy of complete elimination of all waste the Toyota Production System. “Waste can manifest as excess inventory in some cases, extraneous processing steps in other cases, and defective products in yet other cases. All these "waste" elements intertwine with each other to create more waste, eventually impacting the management of the corporation itself,” according to Toyota. The production system was created with the objective of "making the vehicles ordered by customers in the quickest and most efficient way, in order to deliver the vehicles as quickly as possible." How does this apply to your business? Toyota and lean thinking goes hand in hand. But think about your own customers. Are they getting your best work in the most efficient way possible? Or do you have waste? Are you wasting time because you have some software that isn’t working the way you want it? Do you have all your data in one place? Entire companies have been created around the idea of eliminating waste. HingePoint is one of them. We help you take control of your critical data that is locked in a server and can’t communicate with other systems.HingePoint Lean

Project Atlas Features from Project Atlas on Vimeo.
It’s all about the Layers
When looking at Google or Apple maps, you can layer traffic and wreck reports on top of the maps.
The same will happen with Project Atlas. The app will layer design data on top of the map. You can literally push a button and you can see architectural, plumbing, electrical, HVAC and structural overlays on the digital 2D map. Layers can be easily toggled on and off to overlay different categories of information.
“Everything is layer based,” Williams said. “It’s exposing things to us like never before.”
How will Project Atlas help?
Imagine working on a large project, like a new hospital. You’re flipping through drawings because there’s an issue with a beam overlapping a toilet. You look up exactly where this section of the building is by looking through the architect’s index. The schema is like a different language. Afte flipping through many pages and heading to the second floor, a subcontractor contacts you about an emergency. You check on it. You realize the “emergency” could have waited and you really need to get to this beam to make a decision about the bathrooms on the second floor. The project is waiting on you. Now imagine if you had a Google Map of your project with location-based information. Imagine being able to pull the bathroom plans in question up on an iPad and overlay any other type of information, like steel beams. You can quickly see that the plans show a beam hanging right above the toilet. You now have the information you need to make a decision. Almost all general contractors are still using this paper system, Wynne said. It's combersome and can take a long time to identify problems. It’s the equivalent of finding the road you are on with a paper map while driving through Chicago or Dallas.2D isn’t Going Anywhere
It can take BIM experts years to truly learn the systems to build 3D models. And the way contractors have built buildings has always been based off 2D. Sometimes that most expensive, complex tool is not the most efficient, Williams said. “We need a solution that someone coming out of college can consume this information within a couple of hours… instead of years,” Williams said. “We’re trying to fill this middle space between BIM and 2D.” In the coming “BIMtopian” world they hope Project Atlas will be the bridging tool from 2D to BIM for the construction site.Need help with BIM integration?

Don’t believe that statement? Ask HDR Inc. HDR is an architecture, engineering and consulting firm that was founded in 1917. It’s employee owned with 10,000 employees. The firm has worked in all seven continents and has done notable projects like the Hoover Dam Bypass, Fort Belvoir Community Hospital and The Roslin Institute. HDR currently does a lot of work related to health care spaces, science and technology and education and civic spaces. “Technology has evolved tremendously,” HDR health care architect Susana Erpestad said. “To design with true information or even evidence, it helps sustain the concepts you create.” The way HDR uses data to inform design has changed the most. The firm uses a lot of parametric models, but the goal is always to match what is in the field with what is in the model. By using virtually any software platform available in the market, teams find which platforms will inform the design they do. “I think data is power,” Erpestad said. “I think part of the big impact we have right now is BIM and data management.” James Bates, an HDR engineer, said they deliver a lot of their requirements and information through Revit. But they do not solely rely on it. They are constantly in the field checking things against their designs. “We collaborate face to face. We collaborate with software. We work in the same models,” Bates said. “Then each of us bring our different software that we use into that process so we can comprehensively build the building.” Bates said the company has been able to sustain its technological advantage through new recruits. “We have a lot of breadth of experience at HDR ranging from people just beginning in the industry and people being there for a really long time,” Bates said. “I think the way that software is adapted to the process – we can only get that from the emerging professional.”Customized Revit Plugins

Collin County is now known for its booming economic landscape, however, the opening of Legacy West, a $3.2 billion dollar development, has set a new standard in commercial real estate for the area. Legacy West is a 225-acre project with hotels, restaurants, high-end shops and apartments residing along Dallas North Tollway and State HWY 121. Because of the massive development, corporate offices like the new Toyota North America headquarters, Liberty Mutual and FedEx will surround the developments, bringing a surge of new jobs to the area. The grand opening planned by DFW Events and Legacy West, showcased treats by Sprinkles Cupcakes, signature cocktails, live entertainment and food all proving to be as big as the Texas-sized state.
“This is one of the bigger grand openings of a shopping center in a long time,” said Mary Francis-Hurt, event coordinator for DFW Events. “It is truly a shopping and dining experience.”
The streets at Legacy West are lined with restaurants of all varieties, from upscale dining like Dallas’ favorite Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House, sister restaurant’s True Foods and North Italy to the all so popular Shake Shack.
There will also be a five-story cafeteria and brewery.
North Italia and True Foods are owned by Fox restaurant concepts, a culinary group of multi-faceted restaurants whose mission is to reinvent the way people experience food. One of the keys to their success is finding the best locations.
"We were obviously very particular about what markets we went into," said True Foods general manager Amy Adams. "It has to be a market that is going to understand and appreciate everything we do, and how can you look at this development and not want to be a part of it?"
True Foods was the chosen location to host the VIP ribbon cutting ceremony and featured a special cocktail for the event. Retail shopping was also a large part of the allure with big brand names like Tesla Motors, West Elm and Johnny Was a boho-chic boutique from Los Angeles.
"I think it is going to bring in a whole new dynamic to the area and taking Plano up a notch," said Louri Campbell, assistant manager at Johnny Was. "We are excited to be a part of such a progressive and unique development because there is really nothing like this going on in North Texas."
Development in North Texas is not slowing down, suburban areas like Plano and Frisco are currently at a pinnacle of growth; take for example The Star in Frisco, the new Liberty Mutual building and Toyota’s headquarters.
The opening of Legacy Plano West is just proof that everything is bigger in Texas.

[post_content] => Dallas is known across the world for its highly recognizable skyline. In fact, the Dallas cityscape came in first place in a recent USA TODAY Readers’ Choice poll, and Harwood is a reason why.
And the skyline is only going to get better, and one reason is because of Harwood International’s 34-year journey to continuously transform the Uptown Dallas neighborhood known as Harwood.
[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://3fesnf3017rn3znelb81u4lp9e-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Harwood_Internation_Dallas.mp4" poster="https://3fesnf3017rn3znelb81u4lp9e-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/HingePoint_s_Real_Estate_Marketing_Services.png"][/video]
"Harwood District is a thriving entertainment and business center. Its stunning architecture and ancient art collection bring an international influence to our city." Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings has said.
Harwood International is an international real estate firm with offices and developments in markets across the world: Beverly Hills, Dallas, Geneva, London’s West End, Paris, and Zurich. Around the world, Harwood International has developed and managed more than 20 major facilities including 46 St. James’s Place, Cleveland House, and 32 St James’s Square in London’s West End as well as the Beverly Hills Rolex Building in California.
Harwood International has been developing the acclaimed Harwood district with premier class AA office, luxury residential, and retail space. The 18-block district will continue to grow to include over $3 billion in office, retail and residential development.
So far, Harwood has completed seven buildings, three of them came in the last 10 years. Three new buildings are under construction and will further change the Dallas skyline.
The Rolex Building
The Rolex Building
Harwood started with the original Rolex Building in 1984, Uptown’s first office building. Now, 30 years later the next Rolex building is designed by Tokyo-based Kengo Kuma, who was selected to design the 2020 Olympics Stadium in Tokyo. The seven-story office building is located at Harry Hines Boulevard and Moody Street in Dallas.
