DIGITALIZATION IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT


“Once you’ve mapped the process using this notation you can start to assess how the elements of a process can be digitalized in an integrated way.” A standard that further develops this process in a construction-specifi c environment is BS EN ISO 29481-1, information delivery manual (IDM). By illustrating where information needs to be input and output during the process, it facilitates exchange of information used during all stages of the lifecycle of construction works, from briefi ng to design, documentation, construction, operation and maintenance, and demolition. This provides a basis for accurate, reliable,


repeatable and high-quality information exchange, a fundamental of digitalization.


When it comes to putting in place a digital strategy, Dan’s advice is to carry out thorough process mapping fi rst, using the standards mentioned above, before investing in any new technology: “Begin by documenting the processes and working out where the time is spent. Only then should you decide on what software you need to realize value.


“Without doing these steps before you buy


new technology, you may be unable to see its full potential. An example is using CAD software solely to produce construction drawings,” said Dan. “Value comes from the added benefi ts new technologies enable, such as better coordination and reducing confi guration time when exchanging between processes. These values can only be identifi ed through a holistic view of business processes.” Concluded Dan, “All of these standards and


related developments are part of a process-driven strategy to encourage the built environment to embrace digitalization. The message we want to get over is any new business model should be process- driven, and companies shouldn’t be buying new technology for the sake of it.


BIM - SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE


“Value comes from the added benefi ts new technology enables, such as better coordination and reducing confi guration time between processes’”


“Following a process-driven strategy, starting


from the foundations of your business up, will ensure that any new technology you buy will integrate into your processes and enable data sharing between different parts of your own business and your supply chain.”
