We do not have the levels of informed, accessible, public engagement with planning that would benefit the process and the built environment.
We’re not suggesting traditional construction isn’t risky.We know from government data that almost 10% of their spending on construction is allocated to risk.
This hasn’t changed despite many years of operating in this way.However, it’s a risk that is, to some extent, understood.That said, construction Platform design does help to change that risk profile dramatically and to reduce the amount of risk on a construction project..
If we take another look at what the UK government is doing through the Construction Innovation Hub, we can see that they are looking to aggregate construction demand across different departments.By harmonising the standards and requirements, and developing standardised components, they are creating a huge, central body of knowledge.
This library of common solutions will, in turn, mean that on each project, none of the construction design work necessarily needs to be done from scratch.
Combining standardisation with the digital design tools that create better-coordinated models and data-rich designs, along with program cost and supply chain data embedded in the model, is powerful.Their different paths and strategies reflect their individual needs “based on the current environments that are there and what they're trying to overcome.
I think we can learn from one another,” she says.. For example, Singapore is very metrics-based.They’re tracking everything with technology and bringing industry and universities together to view things from different perspectives.
In the United Kingdom, there’s great craftsmanship, as well as in Ireland, where they’ve adopted manufacturing techniques.In America, there’s volume because of geography.
