While there are lots of companies solving problems in isolation, asBuilt say it’s the work of aggregating the data and bringing it together, causing it to be viewable all at once, which will create the great unlock needed to transform the future of construction.. Lamont doesn’t believe this unlock is going to happen at client level, and says he doesn’t think the industry should focus its effort on chasing the people with the money to impart digitization.

We need to understand which is the most economically efficient, and which is the best for the environment.Having clear, data-based answers, will help to make regulatory and policy decisions.

The more information we have, the better outcomes we’ll be able to achieve.. Impacting the future with digitisation and MMC.Another potential benefit of digitising the built environment will be a positive impact on the use of modern methods of construction.Above all else, developers are looking for certainty and speed.

Sharing data across the design, engineering, planning and construction elements of development will enable us to push and promote modern methods of construction with all of the associated sustainability and energy benefits.When design and planning happen more quickly, people will want to see construction happen faster too.

MMC won’t need to be enforced, developers will come on board willingly because MMC will provide much quicker outcomes, with much greater levels of certainty.

Ultimately, when we make MMC and design for precision manufacturing the default option, we’ll be able to make better homes for people.. At Bryden Wood we’re currently working on the New Hospitals Programme, which is the first real enactment of the Construction Playbook.Designing adaptable buildings enables the function to change depending on its users’ needs.

If COVID has taught us anything, it’s that workplaces and homes both need to be flexible to account for changing work patterns.It’s a balancing act to make sure a building can be adaptable without over-designing the structure, architecture and MEP.

But when we build smarter we can do this.Repeatable building modules which can be switched in and out depending on requirements, such as glazing vs solid cladding modules, or heating vs heating and cooling fan coil unit modules, are simple features which may prevent a building from being torn down mid-way through its life expectancy.
