Current State of the construction sector

MEGA TRENDS OF CONSTRUCTION SECTOR

30% of global greenhouse gas emissions are attributed to buildings.

UK Government has set a target of 50% reduction in today’s level of greenhouse gas emissions in the country built environment

Population of the world’s urban areas is increasing by 200,000 people per day.

Need for affordable housing as well as social, transportation, and utility infrastructure

CURRENT SITUATIONProject take 20% longer to finish than expected

and are up to 80% over budget 1

Construction productivity has declined in some markets since 1990 2

Regulation increasing, getting more complex around the world2

R&D is well behind other sectors >1% of revenue (vs 3,5-4,5%) . IT investment are also behind with less than 1% of revenue1

INTERNAL CHALLENGESLack of innovation

Informal processes

Insufficient knowledge transfer

Weak Project Monitoring

Little cross functional cooperation

Conservative company culture

Lack of young talent & People Development

“Looking at construction projects today, I don’t see much difference in the execution of the work in comparison to 50 years ago”John M. Beck, Executive Chairman, Aecon Group, CanadaSource: Shaping the future of Construction: A Breakthrough in Mindset and Technology, May ‘16 World Economic Forum and The Boston Consulting Group

COST OF CHANGECost of Change in the construction Life Cycle.

Companies need to ensure that, already during the design and engineering phase, they keep the actual construction process in mind, as well as the final operations phase.

Idea’s that could help the construction sector

Five trends will shape construction and capital projects.

1 Higher-definition surveying and geolocationRapid digital mapping and estimating

2 Next Generation 5-D building information modelingDesign platform for the future

3 Digital collaboration and mobilityMoving to paperless projects, from the office to the workforce

What is needed for good on-site project collaboration

PEN AND PAPER IS THE BOTTLENECK TO PROPER BIM IMPLEMENTATION

DOCUMENTS

ADMIN

COMMUNICATION

FIELD

Getting one versions of documents on site is difficult as Paper is still very dominant

The number of stakeholders complicates the communication, especially on big projects

80% of work is done on site today, but 80% of technology is still in the office.

Each visit creates an administrative burden:1 hour of work on site is equivalent to 1 hour of administration in the office.

ONE VERSION OF THE TRUTH

BIM MODELS

BIM in the field:● Simple to use● Object-Oriented● Relevant information● 2D & view only● Form & Annotation

Collaboration Principles

- Ground Rules

- Everyone should contribute

- Avoid multiple systems

- Avoid manual work

- Use best of breed tools that do one thing very well but is deeply integrated

Kick-Off with all parties

Agree on standards

Naming (plans, status,..)

Role & Responsibilities

SLA between parties
