The selected approach to Basic/Scheme Design and Detailed Design will impact the project’s ability to deliver the project intent and optimise value.

These include terms like AI, machine learning and quantum computing.However, all of them require data, and that data needs to be collected and mapped spatially.

While the industry is excited about the general digitisation of the built environment, asBuilt feels that what we really need to be focusing on is spatial mapping.Knowing at what point a photograph was taken unlocks where the data lands and therefore adds value.It’s at this point that data becomes truly useful information.. asBuilt’s spatially connected database, Vault, enables them to consider an entire digital ecosystem.

Working with the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the company is currently using cameras and other technology to map point of sale flows through a spatial model, enabling detailed knowledge about the amount of money flowing through tills and bars at particular points.While it’s true that there is a lot of advanced and valuable work that can be done with these types of permanent installations, we also need to carefully consider the impact of spatial mapping technology on construction sites.

With the example of a photograph, we can check to ensure the photo was taken, and the worker also benefits knowing his job has been done.

However, spatial mapping can also be used to evaluate things like crane hook time and positioning, in order to drive productivity benefits.In some cases, building off-site in a factory may even be less efficient than on-site construction.

For example, prefabricated 3D modules (used in modular construction) involve many additional costs compared to conventional build.These include transportation (a pre-fabricated room is mostly air, after all) and heavy plant for lifting modules into place.

Unless modules are fabricated on a just-in time basis they also have to be stored which costs money, especially if that storage needs to be sheltered from the elements.3D modules also occupy large amounts of factory floor space and therefore absorb a high proportion of factory overheads..
