The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)’s Post

As the AEC industry continues to mature into the digital age, the conversation is starting to shift from "Why we need to use technology?" to "How we can use it" to streamline construction and improve our communication, speed, and accuracy? The following article from Trimble and ENR notes that, among the numerous benefits, the use of effective construction technologies can erase traditional boundaries, bringing global teams together to solve for the root causes of project problems. This increase in real-time collaboration is just one of the many factors shown to contribute to reduced construction times, increased quality of product, and keeping cost overruns in check.

ALEC’s approach to digital construction - In Conversation with Andy Boutle, Head of Digital Construction at ALEC

Tech in Construction vs Off-site Construction - who wins? 💰⌛♻💻 🌆🏗 Is embracing innovation paramount to success and staying competitive in today's rapidly evolving landscape?? The potential is immense, with the global construction industry estimated $1.6 trillion in cost savings over the next decade through the full integration of digital technologies. When we prioritize and embrace digital transformation, we can experience remarkable improvements in productivity, potential to increase it by up to 50% & project costs can be reduced by 20-30%. BIM is already widely used, enhancing accuracy and durability, this proactive approach prevents errors, ensures optimal material compatibility, and significantly reduces costs. The adoption of offsite construction techniques is a true game-changer with a myriad of benefits, such as faster build times, which can be 20-40% quicker than traditional methods, requires 50% less labour onsite and 90% less waste generated compared to traditional construction methods. The bottom line is that embracing innovation is not just an option; it's the key to unlocking the full potential of the construction industry in today's world. It's the pathway to our success and the future of construction!!! Do you challenge any of the points covered? #MMC #Offsite #Offsiteconstruction #modular #technology #innovation

🏗️💡 The Reality of #valueengineering in Construction: Striking the Balance Between Cost and Quality 💡🏗️ In the dynamic world of construction, the pursuit of cost efficiency without compromising quality remains a perpetual challenge. Value Engineering (VE) emerges as a crucial tool, but its modern-day application demands a delicate balance between innovation, cost-cutting, and sustainable practices. As construction professionals, we recognize the intrinsic importance of VE in optimizing project economics. Yet, the reality often navigates a fine line between short-term savings and long-term implications. Here are some key insights: 1. Holistic Approach: VE isn’t merely about slashing expenses. It’s about scrutinizing each phase, identifying opportunities for enhancement without jeopardizing structural integrity or performance. 2. Innovation and Sustainability: Modern VE extends beyond cost reduction; it champions innovation and sustainability. Embracing advanced materials, technology, and eco-friendly practices becomes pivotal for long-term viability. 3. Collaborative Efforts: Effective VE hinges on collaboration among architects, engineers, contractors, and stakeholders. It fosters a shared vision, leveraging diverse expertise to achieve optimal outcomes. 4. Balancing Act: Achieving the right balance between cost, quality, and functionality remains a perpetual challenge. VE demands informed decisions that weigh immediate savings against future costs. 5. Long-Term Vision: While VE may promise immediate cost benefits, the focus should encompass the lifecycle of the structure. Prioritizing durability and efficiency pays dividends in the long run. In conclusion, the landscape of value engineering in modern construction is multifaceted. It’s about embracing innovation, fostering collaboration, and making informed decisions that transcend short-term gains. Let’s continue evolving VE practices, steering construction towards sustainable, high-value solutions.
