Increasing number of industries have become data driven already. They are all the more associated with specialists, build data-centric cultures, and developed tools - gadgets - applications and much more to leverage data, optimize their new as well as ongoing projects, and avoid any pitfalls. There are no second thoughts that the building construction industry will certainly follow.

Morphogenesis Lab creates an interactive installation focussed on "Architecture of Emotive Intelligence," exploring how cyber-physical adaptive spaces can respond to the user's physiological and psychological needs based on their biological and neurological data. Such data can be a potent driver of change in the way spaces can be controlled.

BIM can contribute in bringing transparency between all stakeholders. The root of BIM is "the single source of truth", and the industry recognizes that information transparency is more than important, than ever. But the truth is that it's a collective practice, where stakeholders look at it in their own commercial interest.

Let's see how Building Information Modeling - BIM and laser scanning technology are optimized by building construction professionals to streamline renovation, retrofit and refurbishment projects.

Adopting BIM is extremely useful for building products manufacturers to create more possibilities for lead generation. Providing product data, makes procurement of construction materials easy and gives certain surety in Public and Private sector projects. It's not necessary that client will end up buying your product, but there are chances that the client may pay you to upgrade the existing product/service that he/she is already utilizing.

Education and awareness of climate risks, is a mandate for countries that are developing infrastructure in climate-vulnerable environments. Consistent data and information, institutional arrangements including coordination between various stakeholders, policies, economic incentives, technology, and knowledge will play a pivotal role.

We cannot forget the role played by human interactions to grow the business and sustain it even in static market economies. Increased efficiency in data processing, and increased access to both the direct communications and reaching out to new markets conveniently, are amongst the main benefits of technology that we see and feel every day.

With developments in technology which support BIM workflows better than before, there are examples of ground-breaking projects in construction and infrastructure which have optimized energy use using efficient and reliable energy analyses using real building data - the most remarkable in recent times is the Shanghai Tower.

BIM and Revit are the most popular among them, as 3D scanned point cloud data, also hand holds in attaining various Levels of Development - LOD.

Tech-wizards, @carlo-ratti-associati use portable technology that employs drone formations to draw on urban facades. With this project, any façade can become a space to showcase new forms of open-source, collaborative art using real-time data. Check it out here and leave us your views…

Surveying firms can capture and scan data into information-rich 3D models to record as-built conditions. 3D parametric models drive visualization in 3D space to identify component connections and structural elements. Accurate documentation, spatial analysis, 360-degree project representation, load calculations, and improved asset identification are some of the benefits delivered by point cloud to BIM. Read this blog post to learn of the significant benefits of point cloud to BIM for surveying companies.

Procurement process is rigid and relies on a bureaucratic outlook which isn't favorable for smaller firms. The existing UK procurement rules, or at least the Scottish regulations, go beyond than the requirement by the EU and therefore; Brexit is questionable to have a substantial impression on procurement.

BIM is the digital representation of a construction process and beyond. It ensures that all the data that is crucial to run a facility smoothly is accumulated throughout the design and construction process.

London Gatwick Airport is one of the aviation industry's early adopters of wide-ranging cloud services for its core IT needs. Leading the charge is Gatwick's CIO Michael Ibbitson, who has been pushing to reduce the airport's reliance on centralised data centres by outsourcing to the cloud.
