Notes de l'éditeur
IT has often encouraged, not reduced, use of paper enormous data duplication poor use (and re-use) of data spiralling demand for more, better, and richer, data often require substantial human resources to support and maintain
Simplified No regulators No policy-makers No end-users/occupiers (unless they are included in the “suppliers and other stakeholders”)
Look at why collaboration technologies became popular But note: they are still far from universal!
Not just paper Again, hardware production and disposal can be polluting huge waste of other disposables (toner/ink cartridges, etc) Buildings created just to hold paper!
Not just the production of paper, of course Also the transport of that paper And its ongoing management – often for years after project delivered for construction projects
Clear benefits
SaaS or locally hosted? Collaboration only, or ‘collaboration-plus’? Further scope for rationalisation (some vendors less focused on collaboration, looking for niches)
80% people and processes, only 20% technologies In the time available, I am going to concentrate on just eight broad areas. No exact divide between these areas There are technology dimensions to them all (and vice versa) But the people and process issues are less easily resolved than the technological ones People collaborate not systems
First – computer and internet technologies Old style information-driven approaches New style interaction-driven approaches
Massive (over)-production of paper, indiscriminately pushed at every potential team member BIM opportunity to pull the data you need when you need it, and to integrate processes For example: Revolutionise how we manage built environment information Away from production of ‘dumb’ 2D information Towards collaborative development of nD data
Moving from simple 2D or 3D CAD through modelling approaches to model-based collaboration and then onto integrated project delivery
Moving from simple 2D or 3D CAD through modelling approaches to model-based collaboration and then onto integrated project delivery
Second – hardware, software, networks and how we connect to our data has begun to change Last 10 years has seen major change in how we regard IT No longer just locally-hosted, but increasingly anywhere, anytime, on any device
on any device Not just laptops or tablets, or iPads But mobile telephones – with real-time interaction with the built environment or with fellow collaborators
Third – moving on to people , we have the prevalent attitudes within the industry – the things that Latham, et al wanted to change Of course, these attitudes and behaviours are often the result of how we are educated and developed in our careers Look at these alongside the …
And fourth, Industry mindsets As an industry, our professionals are not taught and developed to work in an integrated way Too often silo-based approaches to education, to career development, to incentivisation and reward Also a reluctance to embrace the non-construction professional – the end-user, occupant, owner and/or operator of a built asset – before, during or after the planning, design and construction phase of a project
Focus on drawing and document meant focus on paper Could also say the same in the past about email, perhaps?
Consult with the people who might use our new built environment Share information through wikis and other open-source projects so that knowledge isn’t trapped – it’s freed for reuse and improvement Enable and encourage feedback loops with simple tools
New generation of super-collaborators, super-communicators coming through. Looking to network with their peers No longer email-driven Also need to respond to changes: in demographic patterns Globalisation emergence from a recession and new climate change issues
New ways of working are changing the ways in which we might manage our processes. Switching from sequential processing of paper To more contemporaneous sharing of information No longer pushing out paper, but generating shared data that can be ‘pulled’ as required by other team members, and maybe reused in different ways.
BIM offers opportunity to speed up what used to be a sequential process and allow some activities to take place simultaneously Massive (over)-production of paper, indiscriminately pushed at every potential team member BIM opportunity to pull the data – single instance - you need when you need it, and to integrate processes
Not just design data in BIMs Rich data offers new opportunities to interact: Video, slideshow and photos – all related to one event
Reiterates previous point – about integrating supply chain into the process For example: Early engagement Off-site fabrication ‘ lean’ construction
Growing number of industry reports pointing the way towards new approaches National Platform for the Built Environment – five key areas identified (2008) SCRI research report (2009) talked about ubiquitous computing, collaboration tools, [and] decision making tools “ The teams involved in the design can be globally dispersed. Free access to information will start to emanate from society and from the industry . ” “ Home working, remote working, mobile working will be much more possible and feasible. ... Technologies like second life might provide the means for the interaction of the whole supply chain and design teams. ... In future, IT will naturally become a part of the life of end-users. IT tools will become much more ubiquitous, pervasive and intuitive. ”
Need to look beyond the delivery phase and think about the whole life cost of a proposed built asset Build in feedback loops from owners, occupants, end-users, facilities managers
Richard Saxon covered this in detail in his report Be Valuable But we can also use technology For example, to get real-time feedback on the performance of real buildings Feedback loops, sharing data (nationally and internationally)
Finally, of the 8, industry approaches Get away from the knee-jerk view that we will always need new buildings and other assets In some cases, we may need to work better with what we have
This approach is likely to be highly favoured over the next few years UK Govt likely to be focused on VFM and carbon use The two may well combine to enforce a new focus on more sustainable approaches to construction Know that Paul Morrell’s priorities are.
