Exploring the Future of Construction: Digitalisation and Health & Safety Insights | Professor Jennifer Whyte
single components that can be optimised for material efficiency.
For example, Dr. Tom Beach at Cardiff University has been funded through one of the projects, with significant scholarly interest in his research on digital compliance checking.As a result of a link fostered by TCN+ with the Construction Innovation Hub, The Hub is now supporting Dr. Beach with some of his leading work.
Due to the sheer number of stakeholders involved in supporting these projects, the researchers are frequently making organic connections as they go along.These include representatives from Tier 1 contractors, housing and healthcare companies, as well as other research bodies like the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC).This is all adding to the excitement.. Research acceleration due to COVID-19.
The COVID-19 pandemic took hold just as academics and researchers received funding.The resulting lockdown forced the redesign of entire research programs, an accomplishment achieved with great perseverance and agility.

by Dr Grant Mills from UCL, and involving Bryden Wood Director Steven Tilkin, incorporated Bryden Wood’s innovative work in platform design (P-DfMA).We’ve been watching this process evolve over time, with BIM focused on digitising the design and construction of projects.
What we’re really aiming for though, is a future state where we’re able to understand and measure and digitise the actual performance of built assets.At that stage, we’ll be able to use the data to create insights beyond one particular project.
Instead, the data will help us understand network and system level impacts.We’ll be able to evaluate specifically how an energy project, a transport project, a school and a housing scheme interact.
