Indeed, female team members play crucial roles all across the company, with three out of four directors of the innovative Creative Technologies team being WICE award finalists.. JAMI CRESSER-BROWN.
It’s critical to know where we’re heading, but we shouldn’t rush down the wrong path for political expediency or short-term measures.We’ve got to be able to respond to emerging needs, placing greater emphasis on what may be required at any point, be that lowering carbon emissions, social value, or any other value driver, and we’ve got to respond in the right way and at the right pace, so we don’t get taken off course.
It requires collaboration and the convening power of the Construction Leadership Council will be crucial to that.. BIM and digital twins.We’ve been watching this process evolve over time, with BIM focused on digitising the design and construction of projects.What we’re really aiming for though, is a future state where we’re able to understand and measure and digitise the actual performance of built assets.
At that stage, we’ll be able to use the data to create insights beyond one particular project.Instead, the data will help us understand network and system level impacts.
We’ll be able to evaluate specifically how an energy project, a transport project, a school and a housing scheme interact.
Digital twins and federated digital twins will enable us to understand how things are actively performing..Additionally, these deliveries will be pre-coordinated with site activities and made by autonomous vehicles.
This will make sure that components arrive exactly when needed and that deliveries place the least amount of stress on local infrastructure.. A for assembly in DfMA: automation in construction and fewer operatives on site.At Bryden Wood, we’ve started an initiative called the Framework for Robotics and Automated Construction (F.R.A.C.).
The purpose is to examine how we begin to design for automation, as well as to determine what level of automation is appropriate on-site.We’ve also been exploring automation in construction at component level.
