A recent review in the International Journal of Science and Research Archive (IJSRA), authored by Ruchit Parekh and Dario Trabucco, explores the progress and challenges of BIM-LCA integration.
AI in the AEC/O industry will be transformative in 2025 – but in the race to realise its potential, the sector must not lose sight of the vital importance of ethical and responsible use, writes Charlie Sheridan, chief data and AI officer at the Nemetschek Group.
A modern way to design, build and manage construction projects – or a compulsion? How 3D modelling and spatial coordination for MEP contractors can create greater business opportunities.
Rick Hartwig, built environment lead at the Institution of Engineering & Technology, discusses the importance of structured data and embracing digitisation in order to improve construction product performance and safety.
Interstate Electrical has gone on a journey with Revu. When it came to moving forward as a modern business, Interstate Electrical faced some challenges. The main culprit? Paper.
A new Digital Capabilities Framework from the Construction Innovation Hub aims to support and nurture the digital capabilities of early career professionals across built environment disciplines. Henry Fenby-Taylor, information management delivery lead, explains.
Using generative design with computational engineering allows carbon optimisation to inform structural designs, says Hannah Freireich of engineering consultancy Will Rudd.
The Digital Energy Estimation Tool, a collaboration between the Centre for Digital Built Britain and Northumbria University, is harnessing BIM and VR to visualise embodied and operational carbon emissions in the built environment. Sustainable construction expert Dr Zaid Alwan discusses the development of the tool, which was selected for exhibition at COP26.
With Digital Construction Week (DCW) just around the corner (24-25 November, ExCeL London), the organisers of Europe’s leading innovation and technology event for the built environment have revealed an unmissable lineup for the Main Stage at this year’s show.
Ian Risk, chief technology officer at the Centre for Modelling & Simulation, believes digital engineering must be at the heart of building design if the industry is to succeed in meeting net zero goals while addressing the housing crisis.
Global design and BIM software provider Vectorworks has revealed several valuable updates to DIN SPEC, demonstrating industry-wide involvement, extensibility, and scalability.
SCIA came up with a fast, easy-to-use, accurate and reliable application that enables structural engineers to automatically convert physical models from any 3D CAD software to create high-quality and accurate analysis models.
The use of BIM is on the rise but incorrect implementation can increase construction costs, cause delays and even carry legal consequences. Stewart Bailey, director of proptech agency Virtual Viewing, shares his views on how to maximise your BIM strategy.
