Delivery Platforms for Government Assets is primarily focused on buildings rather than infrastructure.
Suddenly, we’ll be using construction digitalisation all the time, and we’ll start to see platforms emerge which aren’t thinking at the level of the consultant, but are addressing some of the more specific and prevalent construction site issues instead.One such issue is illiteracy.
We need to begin targeting the many construction workers who can’t read particularly well, and figuring out practical ways we can get them to use construction technology.These are the types of changes which will unlock the sub-trades and the main contractors, ultimately leading to an unlocked construction ecosystem.. Data and spatial mapping in construction technology.At the moment, there are lots of buzzwords in the construction industry around digital, construction technology.
These include terms like AI, machine learning and quantum computing.However, all of them require data, and that data needs to be collected and mapped spatially.
While the industry is excited about the general digitisation of the built environment, asBuilt feels that what we really need to be focusing on is spatial mapping.
Knowing at what point a photograph was taken unlocks where the data lands and therefore adds value.Refurbishing buildings for a more sustainable future.
The Climate Emergency requires that we pay more attention to the refurbishment and reuse of existing buildings, with a focus on energy and carbon efficiency..The main benefit of the refurbishment of the urban fabric is a substantial saving in embodied carbon, but a new building can benefit from lower carbon emissions in operation.. Bryden Wood has carried out a detailed WLCA analysis of a light-tough refurbishment, full refurbishment and new construction for a commercial building based on benchmark from LETI and RIBA in order to understand which option is less carbon intensive after 60 years.
The results clearly show that.adaptive reuse is more beneficial in both the short and long term..
