In 2012, Bryden Wood and GlaxoSmithKline started working together to try and come up with a different approach to pharmaceutical capital projects.
Embracing Digital Transformation:.The conversation underscores the transformative impact of digital technologies on construction.
Whyte discusses the shift from traditional practices to digital-first strategies, where the use of data analytics, BIM (Building Information Modelling), and digital twins becomes central to project delivery.This digital shift not only enhances efficiency and collaboration but also opens new avenues for innovation in project analytics and stakeholder engagement.. 3.Innovative Construction Methodologies:.
The podcast delves into the potential of modern construction methodologies, such as offsite manufacturing and modular construction, to address industry-wide challenges like labour shortages, safety concerns, and environmental impact.Professor Whyte advocates for a standardised approach to components and systems, which can lead to improvements in quality, speed, and sustainability of construction projects.. 4.
Collaboration Across the Industry:.
A recurring theme is the necessity for collaborative efforts among all stakeholders, including government, industry, and academia, to foster innovation and systemic change.This helps ensure that even manually created models can be checked to ensure that again all of the technical requirements and constraints are being met..
This digitisation or automation of all aspects of the design and the data attached to it, allows an automated checking process that isn’t subject to human error, so teams can be confident that the testing and certification is rigorous and holistic..In traditional construction, data is manually tweaked, but this human interpretation and intervention can break the compliance thread.
When automated, it is easier to track even the smallest of changes and immediately understand the implications of substitutions.The data remains ‘clean’..
