Instead, we're beginning to turn towards much broader value outcomes: increased safety, net-zero carbon emissions, improved build quality, social value and more.
Longer term digital transformation.. Last year, I wrote a. piece on a future state for Platforms., much of which was underpinned by a continuous flow of data across the design, manufacturing, assembly and operation phases.
The ability of a classification system like Uniclass (or some future version of it) to allow data aggregation at all scales from complexes to products and everything in between, will be exactly what is needed to allow the future state I described, and I believe it will be a key way in which we will navigate the marketplace;.Gemini Principles.’ set out by the Cambridge Centre for Digital Built Britain state that ‘Greater data sharing could release an additional £7bn per year of benefits across the UK infrastructure sectors’.
However, to realise these benefits we will have to use a consistent way to describe assets, as was done in ‘Defining the Need’.. ‘Digital Tools’.include the new workflows that a Platform construction approach will unlock, including automated and computational design.
Digital tools and spatial analysis are strongly linked; it is through the spatial analysis work that we have derived the rules that underpin our configurators.
for housing and schools respectively, or computational design workflows such as.In terms of Australia’s vast size potentially impacting on DfMA advancement, in actuality, 90% of the population live on the east coast.
The current focus is on Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, as well as Perth in the south-west.In regional Australia, there is a certain amount happening with trains.
Despite the fact that distance isn’t necessarily the difficult obstacle one might expect, there’s still a long way to go with DfMA in Australia.Supply chains and clients are pushing, but it’s still too expensive for contractors who have cost and time pressures.
