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.In reality, there’s no need for 5G technology in order to obtain the data we’re looking to gather onsite, Lamont says.
Still, that’s primarily what we’re hearing about these days.
In actual fact, what we really need are low-power devices to gather information about simple things.into a new form, aiming to set the standard for engineering documents in the digital future.
This could present an interesting model.. Another example where UK construction has excelled in this regard is with BIM.In the UK, our view and understanding of BIM is incredibly robust and widespread.
As such, UK BIM standards are now becoming the de facto international standard.ISO 19650, the international standard for managing the whole life cycle of a built asset using building information modelling (BIM), contains all the same principles and high level requirements as the UK BIM framework, and has been extremely well received as it has rolled out overseas.
