Construction: Stop creating OIRs and project requirements in Word and Excel, your project depends on it
The quality and performance of any built asset are intrinsically linked to how good the requirements were at the start of the project. As part of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and various standards (such as BS EN ISO 19650, ISO 55001, etc.) that set forth…
IoT and Machine Learning in Civil Engineering
By 2020 there will be 20 billion Internet-connected devices in the world, according to a report by market research firm Gartner. As the Internet of Things (IoT) matures, devices become smaller, more affordable, accurate and more sectors are starting to adopt IoT enables technologies. Civil…
Are you getting value out of construction project data?
A common view in the construction industry is, that each project is unique and therefore should be treated differently, which has caused for projects to run in isolation not transferring any of the knowledge from previous projects using the rich insights available within project data….
AI-Powered Construction Management- Predicting delays, budget overruns and incorrect estimates
There is a lot of talk around Machine Learning (ML) and AI within construction management. However, while the possibilities seem endless, if you look under the hood of most organisations, the reality of applied AI and ML is very different. In recent years, the pace…
AI-Driven Construction Asset Management – Predicting Construction Asset Conditions
Welcome to the second article in our series on AI-Driven Construction, where we explore how AI can drive construction asset management for clients, operators and maintenance contractors. You can read our first article on AI-Driven Construction Management here. Asset management in engineering and construction is…
Constructions next frontier – Designing & delivering projects in Agile
Construction projects are by definition waterfall projects, they are heavily process driven and sequential. Agile has its origins in the software industry, other industries have begun to adopt Agile, by modularising project and workflow components so they can be executed in parallel without dependencies. Agile…
How to digitally transform construction projects without breaking the bank
Enterprise technology providers and consultants, have done an excellent job in convincing organisations that digital transformations must cost billions of pounds and include a myriad of technical experts. However, most of these transformations have not achieved the expected benefits. The Engineering and Construction industry finds…
Do you have the skills required to deliver digitally enabled construction projects?
Addressing the skills gap is one of the most critical aspects to enable a digital supply chain. Digital capabilities are non-existent in the supply chain and the engineering and construction sector is required to recruit a breadth of talent in one of the most competitive…
State of play in the construction supply chain
The supply chain is the backbone of any project in the built environment. Its performance is a critical factor that decides whether a project will succeed or fail. Over recent decades, project requirements have become increasingly more complex, yet supply chains have not evolved. The…
