The application of digital technology has not only shaped the innovative design but has successfully managed the construction process between all parties throughout the project.
The use of a cloud-based model, through Autodesk BIM360, created a digital design and construction process that everyone benefited from in terms of efficiency and data-sharing.
✅ On-site clashes were reduced by 87% compared to benchmarked data gathered by Morgan Sindall.
✅ There was an 84% reduction in abortive works due to increased model syncing compared to benchmarked data.
✅ The cloud-based model removed common pitfalls of data exchanges, realising a 90% reduction in downtime compared to conventional model sharing.
Another key success is the use of actual objects from suppliers BIM libraries, and their integration into the model as early as possible alongside an invitation to the supply chain to review the model. This ensured the model utilised and included all the collective knowledge and could realise issues before the project reached site.
The implementation of digital construction on site has been pivotal in the success of the project. In headline terms, based on a typical working month, the project team reported a saving of six hours per week by utilising the processes and software. This wasn’t just a success for the digital construction of the building, but a success in digital collaboration. The process secured full buy-in from the supply chain as they became embedded in the design process and upskilled the design team as they fully understood what was behind each task.
