If we lose control of the number of options available, we are back to square one - we lose the benefit of standardisation, and we then lose the simplicity this creates in terms of technical compliance.. To encourage industry adoption, we have open sourced all our data, experience and learning on Platform II.. A digital library embeds specifications and compliance into upfront design and tracks these through to delivery..

Industry must have the capability and capacity to deliver new solutions.We need everyone to contribute and collaborate:clients, policymakers, the market.

Of course, this process will be disruptive because industry transformation always is.However, the shift will take time and there will be plenty of signals along the way.Companies will be able to adjust accordingly.

It’s likely that many of the current Tier 1 players will remain very powerful in the new market, but we’re also likely to see big disruptors coming in.Not only that, I suspect some of the current players will disrupt their own business models to broaden the range of services and income streams they're able to generate.. We’re also likely to see some contractors start to diversify the services they offer, or broaden their range of products.

They’ll need to be able to respond to what happens in the future, as we change our focus to the provision of whole-life solutions, rather than just capital assets.

Pure contracting, as we currently know it, is likely to be a smaller part of the market.COVID-19 forced our hand.

We also had a tantalising glimpse of what car-free cities look like and, better yet, sound and smell like (even if things went back to how they were pretty quickly).. We know it can be done.We’ve seen that in some circumstances we can deliver change, really quickly.

The question now is, what are we going to do next?.Construction technology: Building with agility and building agility in.
