How to do the above and meet acceptable price points.
Instead, we're beginning to turn towards much broader value outcomes: increased safety, net-zero carbon emissions, improved build quality, social value and more.We want to create a better future for our built environment, one that benefits both people and the planet.
However, to do this we’ll need to transform not only our approach, embracing new, MMC methodologies such as Design for Value and Platform construction, but also the way we work together across the public and private sector.Collaboration will be key to success, as we begin our journey reshaping construction into an industry fit for the future..The rise of the Construction Innovation Hub.
My journey in government began in 2010.I was involved in the nuclear sector when I was first approached to be an advisor in the UK Government Department of Energy and Climate Change.
I quickly transitioned to a forerunner of the Infrastructure and Projects Authority where I spent nine years in central government before taking on my current role as Programme Director for the Construction Innovation Hub, with the aim of delivering the Construction Sector Deal.
I’ve worked through three different governments - Labour, Coalition and Conservative - but through them all there has been an increasing focus on the importance of infrastructure and transforming construction.. One thing I’ve noticed through this period is that we tend to think of ourselves in the engineering community as being innovators.This could create a new ecosystem of apps and tools that could sit alongside e-commerce to help clients, designers and manufacturers;.
Longer term digital transformation.. Last year, I wrote a. piece on a future state for Platforms., much of which was underpinned by a continuous flow of data across the design, manufacturing, assembly and operation phases.
The ability of a classification system like Uniclass (or some future version of it) to allow data aggregation at all scales from complexes to products and everything in between, will be exactly what is needed to allow the future state I described, and I believe it will be a key way in which we will navigate the marketplace;.Gemini Principles.
