Some progress can be made intra-company, other parts require innovation in the supply and waste chains.
She cautions that we need to be careful about creating risk, which can happen even with good intentions.Ultimately though, we’re making quick progress with safety and security because it sets a whole lot of other things to zero.
In the case of the Underground Asset Register, and to some extent the Construction Data Trust, there are certain types of data people are very willing to share, because, for example, everyone wants to help prevent deaths on construction sites.In these types of examples, governance and transactional issues are less of an issue.However, when trying to make the planning process flow better, or trying to design an integrated transport system, it’s harder to be certain about what gains will be achieved from connecting digital assets.
Sharp says that type of understanding is still a long way off.. How long will it take to modernise planning?.Jack Ricketts says it isn’t currently known how long digitising the planning process will take because of the financial investment required.
However, there are plans for an application to Innovate UK and their Smart Grant funding programme.
Of course, digitising the entire planning process is an enormous goal, and for efficiency’s sake, the process will have to begin with a single use case.Contractors can use the app to validate designs and rebuild an architect’s work very quickly.
PRiSM can also be used to model schemes for a tender, investigating how much module variation exists within a volumetric modular scheme, for example.. PRiSM 2.0: The Addition of Geospatial Data Layers.In 2020, Bryden Wood launched PRiSM 2.0, providing more granular control to the user.
We increased the typologies contained within the app and expanded the pattern book of apartments to provide additional variety.We increased design freedom, giving users the ability to do things like reposition entrances in order to better respond to a site.. One of the biggest additions came with the introduction of geospatial data layers, which provide better understanding of the context around a site.
