There’s also a relationship in terms of how smart contracts are being tied into those sorts of outcomes.
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.
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.However, it’s important that we agree to draw a line under the process at some point, asserting that a consensus on meaning has been reached..
Equally, we must recognise just how crucial construction standards are, particularly as the industry modernises and transforms.UK construction companies have been slow to enable staff to be part of committees where standards are created.
This is a missed opportunity, as all parties should be working together to advance the whole industry in this regard.Regulations should have a significant and authoritative amount of input as they are developed, particularly given the long-term nature of the work, with buildings expected to last between 60-100 years.
