Powering M&E innovation in leisure centres.

The purpose is to examine how we begin to design for automation, as well as to determine what level of automation is appropriate on-site.

For example, Highways England is currently transforming the.Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB).

into a new form, aiming to set the standard for engineering documents in the digital future.This could present an interesting model.. Another example where UK construction has excelled in this regard is with BIM.In the UK, our view and understanding of BIM is incredibly robust and widespread.

As such, UK BIM standards are now becoming the de facto international standard.ISO 19650, the international standard for managing the whole life cycle of a built asset using building information modelling (BIM), contains all the same principles and high level requirements as the UK BIM framework, and has been extremely well received as it has rolled out overseas.

Some interesting moves in the sector could also be triggered by The Construction Leadership Council and Construction Industry Council, ensuring that UK construction has the international profile it richly deserves.. Construction standards: from BRE to ISO and The Construction Playbook.

We’ve seen some successful examples of standards being set through private initiatives.. BRE’s BS6001.It allows us to generate outputs about its performance under different conditions..

This is a powerful picture that allows all stakeholders to understand the problem and come up with creative ideas in a structured way that take into account what others know, while focusing on aspects that matter to achieve a successful solution.Jointly they can then decide what to do next.

Do we need better data or knowledge about a certain aspect?Do we need to model some aspects in more detail?
