In the case of the Underground Asset Register, and to some extent the Construction Data Trust, there are certain types of data people are very willing to share, because, for example, everyone wants to help prevent deaths on construction sites.
On top of this, having the ability to generate a data model and undertake significant amounts of simulation, allows aspects of a design to be tested much more rigorously than by traditional means.Together, all of these factors culminate in the delivery of the best possible buildings.. Education, Construction Technology and the Future of Construction.
At Bryden Wood, our aim is to change the process of design through the use and adoption of technology.As we do this, we need to start to attract more diverse people into the industry.Working with technology in new and exciting ways helps with the industry’s broader image.
In addition to our well-known problems with inefficient processes and insufficient output, the construction industry faces other, compounding issues - namely, a serious skills shortage and an aging workforce.As a result, it’s vitally important that we begin to encourage young people to come and join us.
We must highlight the fact that new technologies are possible in construction, and make sure that such technologies play a key role in how we design and construct..
The construction industry should be a place where young digital natives can come and use their skills and passion for technology to do something meaningful to help tackle the climate crisis.Plenty for the group to discuss and action when it meets again later this year..

However, Lincoln emphasises that Edged’s approach differs, likening these facilities to repeated products that can be continually refined.'From day one at Edged, my role as Director of Design is really trying to develop our language - call it our ‘kit of parts’ - that is agnostic to site, that can address as much of the range of constraints a site can provide, and that allows us to have repeatable components we can manage, condition, and learn from as we deploy them in projects and see the site adaptation that occurs when we do that.'.
