Unlike the 2D plans and PDF documents currently in use, BIM and digital technology enable applicants to segment their designs, making this possible and less prone to mistakes.. Ricketts says that next steps will revolve around using the Gateway One process that’s come out of the Hackitt Report and the Building Safety Bill, and will involve extracting and digitising important fire safety information from architecture and engineering models.The Building Safety Bill specifies that information must be held securely on a digital platform, and it’s much more sensible to start doing it now, rather than having to catch up later once it’s all gone through the paper-based planning system.The importance, value and scalability of digitising these building safety processes will be evident to everyone..
Sharing data for a better future.The possibility of digitising our built environment clearly holds the potential for a wide array of valuable benefits.
Miranda Sharp has been working on a demonstrator project focused on information share between utility providers in order to facilitate better decision making.
She says that sharing data in this way could have a significant impact on our progress towards net zero.People work together as equals.
It’s no longer a client instructing a supplier.Everyone brings their own unique expertise.
However, this process requires bravery.There may be times when the answer to a problem is not known.
