We’ve been watching this process evolve over time, with BIM focused on digitising the design and construction of projects.

These include issues like insurance warranties, intellectual property, and risk allocation in construction.We’re not suggesting traditional construction isn’t risky.

We know from government data that almost 10% of their spending on construction is allocated to risk.This hasn’t changed despite many years of operating in this way.However, it’s a risk that is, to some extent, understood.

That said, construction Platform design does help to change that risk profile dramatically and to reduce the amount of risk on a construction project..If we take another look at what the UK government is doing through the Construction Innovation Hub, we can see that they are looking to aggregate construction demand across different departments.

By harmonising the standards and requirements, and developing standardised components, they are creating a huge, central body of knowledge.

This library of common solutions will, in turn, mean that on each project, none of the construction design work necessarily needs to be done from scratch.That's why we're so siloed.

Also, we can't keep automating inefficient processes.”.The global evolution of industrialised construction.

Ultimately, every single part of the ecosystem has a role to play in this new world, and everyone has to work out what their role is.Marks is enthusiastic about what will happen when we combine the amazing talents of individuals with the power of technology.
