About this Event
It is well known that the construction industry has been slow to adopt digitalisation, but that is changing. For example, no longer does the industry just use simple drawings and spreadsheets. The use of 3D and 4D imagery, the application of drones on building sites, the use of programmes for real time scheduling and rescheduling, the incorporation of digitalised photographic records in building documentation and the emphasis on environmental data capture are all now in common use. The industry is beginning to catch up.
The application of AI to the immense amount of data that is generated when constructing or renovating a building, and the subsequent potential for the use of this data in the maintenance of the building and the planning of future buildings, is also beginning to be a reality. The generation of the data is also becoming increasingly sophisticated and detailed.
But the holy grail is to ensure that all the different elements of the process can interact in an end-to-end, seamless continuum, allowing really meaningful and insightful trend analysis. A key challenge is data quality. Recent work done by Qflow shows that
• 91% of product and waste data required enrichment to become usable for analysis;
• 95% of delivery documentation and 75% of waste transfer notes were incomplete, inconsistent, or inaccurate;
• Only 34% of construction materials have enough data to accurately calculate their carbon emissions.
Our panel will discuss some of the main successes, challenges and trends affecting technology in the built environment today.
Annette Nabavi, WiTT board director and Non-Executive Director at Eleco, will chair the panel. She will be joined by:
Brittany Harris, Co-Founder CEO, Qualis Flow; and
Theresa Mohamed, Partner, Watson Farley & Williams LLP.
Other speakers will be announced soon.
We'll begin at 6:00pm with networking. The panel will run from 6:45 to 7:45. For those on Zoom, we'll open the call at 6:25. We’ll conclude the evening with networking and refreshments.
WiTT thanks Watson Farley & Williams LLP for hosting this event.
