Recycling can concentrate impurities, an issue that requires monitoring and can drive the need for further processing.
Instead, he thinks it’s because the industry is oversubscribed to the idea of finding a silver bullet to solve all the ills of a construction site.asBuilt believes that the solutions needed by the sector are already available, and that by unlocking sites via technological empowerment of the workforce, the use of construction technologies like spatial mapping and IoT, and a shift in thinking toward humanity and long-term value, we have the power to truly advance the industry for the betterment of everyone involved..
Using construction tech to enhance processes on-site.To begin, we can use digital technology to offer more advanced ways to conduct onsite processes which aren’t normally digitalised, such as counting rebar.Using construction technology in this way facilitates benefits like on the day sign-off, with confirmation that the correct tonnage has been installed.
asBuilt believes the construction industry’s core problem lies in connectivity, and that we need to be evaluating where we should be looking to unlock connectivity on construction sites.That makes this a technology landing issue, rather than a technology platform issue.
In other words, what’s important here is where the construction technology lands, and why that’s effective.. On a broader level, this type of construction technology work relates to the current industry conversation surrounding the ecosystem of connected digital platforms that are starting to emerge in construction, with core connective pieces beginning to come together.
These new software platforms are focused on stitching together other software products and allowing them to talk to each other in a particular way.If we can help people feel more in control of what they’re being consulted on, and give them a better sense of what a development will really look like, it should help to alleviate a lot of concern.. At present, ten Pathfinder projects are being undertaken by various local authorities.
All of them are looking at how to digitise planning policy, and make it more machine readable.Local plans take years for councils to produce, and are based on evidence which is out of date almost as soon as it’s put into use, and definitely by the time the plan is published years later.
Digitising the planning system will help us to start producing policies based on real time evidence.Policies could change over a very short time.
