One challenge surrounding the issue is that bilateral sharing arrangements can actually create a significant amount of difficulty for other people.Sharp says that what we really need is something more free-flowing, and adds that we should be nudging the market in the right direction as it develops so that we end up with an optimally connected set of systems..

However, we’re also going to need to definitively demonstrate that the sharing of data will lead to capturable benefits, because such benefits are distributed, and until we demonstrate that, people won’t be motivated to take things forward.We want the people who invest to continue to invest.Sharp points out that we use a lot of energy to make water, and a lot of water to make energy.

We need to understand which is the most economically efficient, and which is the best for the environment.Having clear, data-based answers, will help to make regulatory and policy decisions.

The more information we have, the better outcomes we’ll be able to achieve.. Impacting the future with digitisation and MMC.

Another potential benefit of digitising the built environment will be a positive impact on the use of modern methods of construction.Our analysts will often become embedded in client teams, building our process understanding while at the same time the client becomes embedded in our design team, allowing us to reach a shared agreement of what the best possible solution looks like.. Having been static and traditional for so long, the construction industry today is fast-paced and evolving in many ways.

Bryden Wood is at the forefront of that change and we see data analytics as playing an ever more important role in a smarter, more productive and digitally enabled future..If you'd like to continue to learn about our Design to Value approach and Modern Methods of Construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.
