On the page about Pilot Credit 5 John Albrecht proposed that Automation enabled project management tools can help make the design process more integrated. I believe he has in mind design & construction management tools such as LoraxPro, maybe also GreenGrade.  Does anyone have experience that might shed light on that suggestion? What other tools are people using? Here's what John said:
"Re: IDP and Automation, I am no Auto-head but here's my thinking. The LEED Automation products that I have seen feature improved information sharing, transparency, continuity, and, most importantly to IDP, team collaboration. Instead of separate LEED hoops (updating checklists, LEED status report, LEED online credit by credit access and updates, plus extra emails and phone calls) Automation's promise of one-stop shopping has to be appealing --even if not the end-all. How does this align with your impressions?"
