The Berkeley Modular Digital JourneyLearn how Berkeley Modular transitioned to managing structured, interoperable product data through the implementation of a digital data strategy supported by our event sponsors for this conference, Cobuilder. James Smith, Technical Director at Majenta Solutions will be presenting on this successful collaboration of offsite and technology.

Lorraine McMorrow, BIM Manager, McAvoy Group. The McAvoy Group - recently awarded BIM Contractor of the Year - has pioneered the use of digital technology in the design, manufacture and installation of it’s offsite building projects for a number of years. They see tremendous synergy between offsite construction with it’s speed and quality benefits - and the latest digital techniques, which can radically improve the way we design and produce new buildings.

Product Data Templates

• What are your experiences of product data in industry?• What work has been done in your sector around PDTs? • What benefits could be realised from the use of them?• What are the major challenges around implementation?• How can these challenges be overcome?• What cross-industry opportunities are there in relation to PDTs?• What does an ideal future look like for the management of product data?

Session 2 (15:25) ___________________________

FABIEN CROCHETETCOBUILDER

• What are the challenges faced by offsite manufacturer and their supply chain?• How can these challenges be managed with interoperability of data?• How to control the data flow and benefits of structuring data?• What solutions available to the value chain?

• What are the current pain points within a buildings in use phase, what could be done to help minimise these pain points and what data should be captured to help monitor its performance so proactive actions can be taken?• Relating to the above, what products or concepts could be provided to deliver these needs?• At the design phase, what information, data or tools would enhance decision making to realise the in use benefits discussed earlier?

ALEX SMALLTATA STEEL EUROPE

• What do you see as the key ways in which construction product manufacturers can add value through digital capability?• Do you see construction product manufacturers making the same products and working in the same way in 5-10 years’ time? If not, why? How will their role change?• How would you like manufacturers to make their information (data/objects/documents) available?• How can you ensure that the product information you are using is current, correct and up to date?• Should manufacturers have interoperable, structured, product databases?• How can we get more manufacturers engaged in MMC and digital construction?

DUNCAN REEDTHINKBIM

Suggested BIM Tasks for DfMA – Design for Manufacture and Assembly

• Stage by Stage how can the principles of DfMA be applied digitally?• How might Level of Information Need be applied to these processes?• How can the outputs for DfMA be made digital and what improvements can this bring to interoperability?• Do the wider principles of BIM align to DfMA?
