Building a Better Future – How the Construction Industry Can Attract the Best Talent

Transforming the construction industry by attracting talent, breaking barriers, and embracing innovation for a brighter future

Bridging Gaps and Building Careers: Inside the Women in BIM Mentor Scheme

Elouise Robinson and Alastair Brook connected through the Women in BIM (WIB) Mentor Scheme. By nurturing connections and creating opportunities for support, the scheme transcends conventional mentorship models.

Square Peg Round Hole: The Problem with BIM to Maximo

BIM effectively creates a single source of truth about a project which can be accessed by all stakeholders across the lifecycle of the asset, facilitating more efficient coordination and collaboration.

The Why: What is the Value of BIM to Maximo?

When BIM is integrated into IBM Maximo, it puts information-rich 3D models directly into the hands of operational technicians ̶ enabling them to visualize tasks involved with ongoing asset management.

The Problem with Digital Engineering for Asset Owners

While the use of Digital Engineering is rapidly growing across the construction industry, misaligned and disparate teams often take a siloed approach to digital engineering standards ̶ with each focused exclusively on their own area of specialization.

How a Digital Twin Is Delivered

Digital twins harness live data to monitor and optimize assets, providing real-time insights into performance and activity, but to effectively adopt a digital twin, the first step is understanding its purpose, its value, and how it is created.

5 Ways BIM Can Help Contractors and Sub-Contractors

BIM offers a wealth of benefits to contractors and subcontractors. By providing access to real-time project information, it can help them optimize all tasks, from budget allocations, material procurement, site planning, quality control, and site safety.

How to Interpret Digital Delivery Requirements as a Contractor

Digital led delivery promotes the centralization of information, typically through BIM processes, so that the contractor is always up to date with the live project data – streamlining construction planning and execution.

The Problem with Digital Engineering

Digital engineering involves capturing and integrating data into a federated model or Digital Twin so that it can be leveraged by construction teams, asset owners and/or facility managers. It can facilitate governance, transparency, and enhanced decision making, for better project outcomes and long-term savings.

How Visualizations and 3D Animations Simplify Complexities and Improve Safety Outcomes for Construction Projects

Visualizations offer real-time, realistic and technically accurate representations of complex assets, resulting in increased levels of communication, clarity and engagement for all stakeholders.

How Quality Construction Modeling and Detailing Can Bolster Sustainability Outcomes in Construction

Construction Modeling and detailing of everything from steel, concrete, timber and vendor items can play an important role in bolstering the sustainability credentials of construction projects. Pre-construction planning, modeling and detailing can assist in minimising waste, reducing rework and the consumption of these raw materials.

How Thinking Digital, and Leveraging Our Past, Can Make the Most Complex Infrastructure Project Simpler

The construction and infrastructure industry needs digital disruption. According to research by McKinsey & Company, large construction projects typically take approximately 20 per cent longer to finish than scheduled and are up to 80 per cent over budget.
