Although, there is a good chance some sort of building will be required, the speed with which the teams grasp onto the physical and the detail is astounding.
However, it’s critical that, as an industry we converge on a small number of platform options.If we lose control of the number of options available, we are back to square one - we lose the benefit of standardisation, and we then lose the simplicity this creates in terms of technical compliance.. To encourage industry adoption, we have open sourced all our data, experience and learning on Platform II.. A digital library embeds specifications and compliance into upfront design and tracks these through to delivery..
The smaller number of elements to manage vs. a traditional design, captured in a digital library, will facilitate the creation of accurate, consistent and well-organised information and version control..This digital library will structure data so that design can more rigorously demonstrate compliance, earlier in the process.It embeds sets of rules/data requirements regarding interfaces, technical requirements and standards that sit behind the models, giving a more holistic set of information.
BSA compliance data, tolerances, load, thermal performance and energy efficiency technical standards, rules around interoperability etc..Stored in an open access, central location, the digital library is the bedrock of the digitised design to construction process.
It also embeds the standardised requirements:.
Standard space types.We have too many non-interoperable systems and ecosystems.
Our current decisions are based on cost, rather than value and outcomes.Initial capital costs and whole-life costs will always be important, but all of the various value metrics and value drivers need to be considered alongside them..
Therefore, another solution which might evolve in the process of transforming construction would be the creation of a digital marketplace.Such a scenario would stipulate certain quality and ethical thresholds for supplier participation.
