Longer term digital transformation.. Last year, I wrote a. piece on a future state for Platforms.
The current focus is on Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, as well as Perth in the south-west.In regional Australia, there is a certain amount happening with trains.
Despite the fact that distance isn’t necessarily the difficult obstacle one might expect, there’s still a long way to go with DfMA in Australia.Supply chains and clients are pushing, but it’s still too expensive for contractors who have cost and time pressures.They haven’t yet landed on a perfect solution in terms of an owned or distributed model.. Driving value with onsite data and LoRaWAN technology.
Just as Bryden Wood’s focus lies in our Design to Value approach to construction, for asBuilt, adding value is also a key priority.As such, onsite IoT technology is a key area of interest for the company.
Lamont feels we need to slow down to go faster here, deploying simple, smart construction technology solutions to unlock sites.
Afterall, construction sites are temporary in nature, and contain vast amounts of data which isn’t currently being tracked, but easily could be with existing tech.Currently, the TCN+ stakeholders are in the process of articulating their findings, and plan to share their observations with the business community over the next six months.
Due to the longstanding fragmentation of the construction industry there won’t be a panacea, but most companies in the sector will find something interesting in the conclusions.The projects have served as catalysts for change, helping to progress us further toward our goal of modernising and positively shaping the future of construction..
The research has also led to interesting collaborations and networking opportunities with other Transforming Construction Challenge partners and beyond.For example, Dr. Tom Beach at Cardiff University has been funded through one of the projects, with significant scholarly interest in his research on digital compliance checking.
