On June 26th, 2009 Tocci was honored by a visit from China’s top academic institutions and government ministries in the building industry. The group consisted of members of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, P.R. China, the China Academy of Building Research, the Shanghai Xiandai Architectural Design (Group) Co, Ltd and the Tsinghua University.

The delegation was visiting to learn about the cutting edge tools, practices and processes in the construction industry in the United States. With recommendations by Autodesk, Inc. they selected just one architect, one owner, one engineer and one builder to visit that exemplified the best practices in these areas. Tocci was honored to be chosen for our pioneering work in VDC and IPD.
