Examples of typical options we analyse to optimise the design:.
In fact, Sharp says security is the area she feels most confident about now, but she also points out that there have been some learnings to this end along the way.She cautions that we need to be careful about creating risk, which can happen even with good intentions.
Ultimately though, we’re making quick progress with safety and security because it sets a whole lot of other things to zero.In the case of the Underground Asset Register, and to some extent the Construction Data Trust, there are certain types of data people are very willing to share, because, for example, everyone wants to help prevent deaths on construction sites.In these types of examples, governance and transactional issues are less of an issue.
However, when trying to make the planning process flow better, or trying to design an integrated transport system, it’s harder to be certain about what gains will be achieved from connecting digital assets.Sharp says that type of understanding is still a long way off.. How long will it take to modernise planning?.
Jack Ricketts says it isn’t currently known how long digitising the planning process will take because of the financial investment required.
However, there are plans for an application to Innovate UK and their Smart Grant funding programme.With the time saving benefits created, we are able to design more buildings and infrastructure to a higher standard.
Automation and digital technology give us the ability to explore more possible solutions in less time, choosing the best from a broader set of options.. PRiSM helps designers and architects to save time usually spent reinterpreting rules from design guides and building regulations.After all, it’s in the placemaking, the creation of positive user experience and stimulating aesthetic, that designers have the biggest impact and provide the most value in their work - not in repetitive processes like rules reinterpretation.
It’s also important to recognise that tools like PRiSM don’t need to limit beauty or individuality in the built environment.We use standardisation like the hidden skeletal bones of a building, but the outer manifestation can be as individual and unique as we are as human beings.. A Helpful Tool for the Wider Design & Construction Industry.
