Building a Digital Future

008: Planning in the Construction Industry with Steve Hesmondhalgh and Adeel Khaliq

Welcome to the Building a Digital Future podcast. In this episode, I’m joined by Steve Hesmondhalgh from AMS planning and Adeel Khaliq from Survey2Plan. We chat about the main issues faced by developers and investors in the planning process, and how Steve thinks we can overcome these challenges. We also discuss the importance of using technology, AI, and digital planning to improve efficiency. Steve and Adeel also discuss the role of surveying in the planning process and the potential for AI and data analysis to revolutionise urban planning, and share examples of how some cities are already using digitalisation to their advantages in planning.

007: Winning More Work

Welcome to the Building a Digital Future podcast. In the last episode, we looked at why digital construction is relevant and important to investors and developers. In this episode, we’re going to look at what happens next, after covering all that has been discussed in the previous episodes. We're going to delve into how organisations can enhance their processes and win more work. I’m going to discuss the importance of balancing technology investments with business growth and how to effectively market digital capabilities as part of a broader value proposition. I’ll explore how moving beyond the hype of BIM to focus on digital tools can genuinely enhance project outcomes and reduce costs. The episode also explores ways that you can leverage industry frameworks and accreditations to gain a competitive edge. Let’s start Building a Digital Future.

006: BIM Execution Plan

Welcome to the Building a Digital Future podcast. In the last episode, we looked specifically at the softwares used in digital construction, and how they need to be set up to be a functional piece of kit for the business. In this episode, we’re going to look at why digital construction is relevant and important to investors and developers. I’ll use a developer's perspective to illustrate how integrating digital construction practices ensures better information flow, aligns with business KPIs, and ultimately drives forward the five pillars of BIM. I’ll also discuss how digital construction ensures that everyone involved in a project is aligned, tailored specifically to the type of building being developed. I’ll touch on the significance of documents like the Organizational Information Requirement (OIR) and Asset Information Requirement (AIR), which help developers collect and manage essential data for various building types.

005: Setting Up Your Software

Welcome to the Building a Digital Future podcast. In the last episode, we were talking about the practical preparation needed so that each organisation is ready to collaborate and coordinate with other stakeholders in the project. In this episode, we're going to look specifically at the software and what that needs to look like to be a functional piece of kit for the business. We’ll cover why it’s important to ensure the naming conventions are right and that the geo coordination is set up correctly so that all stakeholders can use the software interchangeably. I’ll also cover how setting up your software correctly can lead to a smoother workflow, and how it will contribute to being BIM compliant. Let’s start Building a Digital Future.

004: Achieving BIM

Welcome to the Building a Digital Future podcast. In the last episode, we looked at how by resetting our mindset, we can achieve positive outcomes from digital construction. In this episode, we’ll take a practical approach, examining the hands-on steps necessary to achieve these outcomes in your business. We’re taking it back to the basics, starting with the principles laid out in BS 1192 from 2007. We'll discuss what these guidelines mean for preparing your business for effective collaboration and digital workflows. Let’s start Building a Digital Future.
