Afterall, construction sites are temporary in nature, and contain vast amounts of data which isn’t currently being tracked, but easily could be with existing tech.

episode featuring., Vice President of Enterprise Transformation at Autodesk, in conversation with.Jaimie Johnston MBE.
- Head of Global Systems at Bryden Wood.. Over twenty years ago, the Queen of Prefab, Amy Marks found herself talking to the C-Suite of one of the biggest contractors in the world.. She said, “I can show you a way that you can do more, with less people on the job site, and make these jobs shorter.”.The CEO responded, “Why would we want to do that?
That's where we make all our money.”.
Now, Marks says, everything is changing.These processes then become highly repeatable, enabling greater levels of automation in construction.
We can turn to techniques such as robotic welding to make the parts, for example, and use popular distribution warehousing equipment on site.Such processes require fewer people and increase worker safety.
In a socially distanced, post Covid-19 world, the advantages are even greater.. Standardisation in construction: making the most of what works best.It’s worth stressing again that standardisation in construction is not a negative, and it’s not unique to platform design either.
