In using these Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) methodologies and tools we can slowly aid transformation and delivery value whilst addressing some of the most pressing sector and global issues which are faced today..

Instead, it’s a federated system allowing different parties to find and use data from other sources, and to check whether they’re allowed to do so..However, certain problems remain.
The first is that someone might not be sure whether the data they’re looking for even exists, and the second involves the requirements under which the data was gathered.It’s important to understand any inconsistencies there might be in the collection of data, because without understanding those types of quirks and failings, it’s hard to know how useful the data might be.Additionally, the further the data gets from its intended use, the less useful it is.
This is why digitising planning makes quite a good use case because, in theory, it’s a linear process..The next issue with data is governance, and the question of whether someone is allowed to share particular data.
Here we see issues like cybersecurity and GDPR coming into play, presenting a list of complex and expensive regulations to navigate.
Finally, there’s the issue of transacting data.The focus now is about how we construct our assets and how we operate.. We have important questions to answer: how do we drive greater levels of manufacturing (DfMA) and more productive growth into the sector?
How do we use data in a way that supports not just better construction projects, but also better operational assets?How do we drive that path to net-zero carbon emissions with greater impact on social value?
These things are crucial to strategic policy, both in terms of the new assets that we build, and how we operate the existing ones.As an industry, we have a moral obligation to do better.
