Web 2.0, sustainability and sharing AEC data

Web 2.0, sustainability and sharing AEC data by Paul Wilkinson (pwcom.co.uk)

Green AEC IT?
Is construction serious about IT?
Collaboration – still c. 2000
Critique
Not just about Web 2.0
Where next?
AEC & IT WEB 2.0 + NEXT? AGENDA GREEN IT? CRITIQUE COLLABORATION

AEC & IT WEB 2.0 + NEXT? GREEN IT? CRITIQUE COLLABORATION AGENDA

ICT once overlooked in construction initiatives
Then…
“ Accelerating Change” (2002): first industry report to mention IT explicitly
“ 2012 Construction Commitments” (2006) said:
"IT-based collaborative tools and communication technologies will be exploited."
But…
just two sentences on ICT in “Strategy for Sustainable Construction’ (2008)
No meaningful mention of ICT in “Construction Matters” (July 2008)

Key research agenda (2008)
Collaborative prototyping to define and deliver client requirements
Efficient, seamless sharing of information across the built environment stakeholders
Ability to interact with real-time information regardless of physical location or timezone
Mass adoption and application of off-site manufacturing, automation and mechanisation processes
Well trained, well qualified workforce able to use the latest best practice technologies

Specs Drawings Minutes Programmes Cost plans correspondence etc Email Fax Courier Post (CD, paper) Traditionally… AEC & IT WEB 2.0 + NEXT? GREEN IT? CRITIQUE COLLABORATION AGENDA

Fewer interoperability issues
Less paper
Latest information available to all
Complete record of project
Full information audit trail
Single central repository of information
Greater re-use of information (eg: for H&S File, standards, tendering, defects mgmt, O&M, etc)
What does it look like…? So collaborate! AEC & IT WEB 2.0 + NEXT? GREEN IT? CRITIQUE COLLABORATION AGENDA

But old…
technologies (EDMS, FTP, file-sharing)
hard/software (static, office-based)
workflows (paper-based, impersonal, ‘push’)
supply-chains (fragmented, dis-enfranchised)
attitudes (contractual, price-driven)
mindsets (silo-based, anti-‘social’)
time-frames (short-term)
mentalities (build if possible)

It’s time for new…
technologies (Web 2.0, Web 3.0, BIM)
hard/software (mobile, SaaS)
workflows (model-based, rich media, personal, ‘pull’)
supply-chains (joined-up, integrated, inclusive, end-to-end)
attitudes (collaborative, sharing, value focus)
mindsets (open, ‘social’)
time-frames (long-term)
mentalities (build if necessary and sustainable)

How will we get there? …
technologies – Asite cBIM, ArchiCAD 13, BIMaaS?
hard/software – virtual desktops, SaaS, Woobius Eye, Incite, Kalexo
workflows – model-sharing, rich media, sharing IP
supply-chains – end-user engagement, offsite fabrication, “connected environments”
attitudes – “democratic design”, open source, Creative Commons
mindsets – Gen Y (+ Gen Z) more open, ‘social’
time-frames – climate change
mentality – 1 : 5 : 200, focus on life-time cost
