SUMMARY:Effective Project Concept and Definition
DESCRIPTION:Energy Transition Revolution: Powering the New Age of Project Delivery\nEffective Project Concept and Definition\n  \nEnergy Transition is here – reports indicate political will\, technological evolution\, government investment support\, investor interest and commitment\, and project development and delivery have taken a significant leap forward. But little is said about how projects are delivered and the corresponding contracting arrangements. \nConstructing Excellence and ECI will be hosting a year long series of events to address the Energy Transition revolution and we welcome your participation! \nhttps://constructingexcellence.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Energy-Transition-final.mp4\nTo view as pdf\, click here. \n  \nDuring the first of this series\, we will explore Effective Project Concept and Definition. For this event\, our speakers will be Dario Rigaud\, Senior Construction Support Engineer of Fluor\, and Stuart Block\, AWP Manager of Fluor\, who will address the purpose and rationale with reference to the ACTIVE Principles\, asking “are these principles relevant today and\, if so\, why hasn’t industry adopted them as mainstream practice?”. We will also hear about a case study of a project where Effective Project Concept and Definition has taken place. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss the focus of the meeting and share their thoughts\, ideas and experience of the matter. \n

SUMMARY:Workshop: AI in Construction
DESCRIPTION:Constructing Excellence is supporting colleagues at BRE and technology developer Glideology on an Innovate UK Feasibility Study to help improve on-site productivity through the use of real-time data feeds from cameras\, scanners\, sensors and other sources.  TRAMS-Construct collates and pre-processes camera\, sensor and meta data feeds from on-site construction into a platform\, enabling 3rd party Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) companies to develop solutions that are targeted at the needs of construction contractors managing large sites (e.g. productivity improvement\, smart contracts and dispute resolution). \nDuring the workshop we will consider user needs and use cases to help shape the solutions to align with specific needs and challenges of on-site construction.

SUMMARY:Innovation Exchange Group
DESCRIPTION:Innovation Exchange\nThe built environment and construction industry face constant external and internal challenges that require a systemic approach to innovation to turn these challenges into opportunity. Innovation is vital to driving continuous improvement and to achieve our net zero ambitions\, although it often suffers from hype with a lot of noise and a lack of implementation. \nConsultation with our members has identified a space for Constructing Excellence members to come together with innovators and researchers to explore innovation and its wider context. To give opportunity for innovators and researchers to share and explore ideas\, learn from each other and consider how the innovation can move to implementation. Led by Ben Pritchard\, Head of Innovation Management at Invennt\, the Innovation Exhange group will meet regularly\, either online or through visits to inspiring innovative places and organisations\, to jointly explore how to move from innovation to mainstream. \nOn Wednesday 8th November\, we’re kicking off with an online session led by the chair\, Ben Pritchard\, talking about the Innovation Management Process\, which provides a framework for organisations to give their innovation purpose and direction. Invennt’s innovation management system provides this and has allowed them to create new services\, new products and roll out a number of productivity improvements. This culminated in Invennt becoming the first SME in the construction industry to achieve the BSI kitemark for Innovation management.

DESCRIPTION:Constructing Excellence is partnering with colleagues UKGBC and IOM3 for an exploratory roundtable on the role that platforms can play in enabling the circular economy.  Platforms and standardised approaches have a huge role to play in delivering quality and productivity and will play a huge role in enabling manufacturers to innovate products that deliver genuine value for end-users. \n  \nCircularity is one of the eight core principles set out in the Construction Innovation Hub’s Platform Rulebook*. ‘To ensure that products have been designed for disassembly\, repair\, or reuse at the end of use and that the manufacturer has provided detailed information on maintenance\, reuse\, disassembly and recovery options.’ \n  \nThis roundtable will explore the role that platforms can play in unlocking circularity and the circularity considerations that those developing platforms need to incorporate.\nJoin us for what promises to be a lively and informative discussion.\n  \n**** The Construction Innovation Hub’s Platform Rulebook defines platforms as: \n• The kit of parts\, associated production processes\, knowledge\, people and relationships required to deliver all or part of construction projects using a platform approach:  \n• A product platform provides a stable core which is configured and combined with complementary components (via defined interfaces) to suit a particular project.  \n• A product platform also includes the processes\, tools and equipment required for assembly

SUMMARY:Digital by Default- January
DESCRIPTION:Digital is ubiquitous. It is no longer a special\, intangible thing reserved for people with digital or BIM in their job title. We are all to a greater or lesser extent digitally-enabled. The Constructing Excellence Digital Group has moved from being about BIM to Digital Construction to now looking at the implementation of digital in all its forms into construction and the built environment. \nThe CE Digital Group aims to provide a safe space to exchange ideas and challenges\, share best practice and explore emerging technologies and their practical application in the construction context. Whatever your level of digital maturity from just about able to join a zoom call to a digital ninja\, the CE digital group provides a trusted\, safe space to gain insight\, ask questions and consider how you can better implement digital approaches in your projects and organisation. \nJoin us on Thursday 18th January to hear from our Digital Award winner 2023 – Bouygues UK.\nIan Massey (Regional BIM & Information Manager) has kindly offered to join us on the day to share some insight on their successful project\, BIM Builders Work & Passive Fire Stopping Golden Thread Solution – Constructing Excellence

SUMMARY:Innovation Exchange Group
DESCRIPTION:The built environment and construction industry face constant external and internal challenges that require a systemic approach to innovation to turn these challenges into opportunity. Innovation is vital to driving continuous improvement and to achieve our net zero ambitions\, although it often suffers from hype with a lot of noise and a lack of implementation. \nConsultation with our members has identified a space for Constructing Excellence members to come together with innovators and researchers to explore innovation and its wider context. To give opportunity for innovators and researchers to share and explore ideas\, learn from each other and consider how the innovation can move to implementation. Led by Ben Pritchard\, Head of Innovation Management at Invennt\, the Innovation Exchange group will meet regularly\, either online or through visits to inspiring innovative places and organisations\, to jointly explore how to move from innovation to mainstream. \nJoin us for the next meeting on 28th February\, at 10:00am\, where we will be discussing ‘Creating a culture that allows innovation to thrive’. More information to follow shortly…

SUMMARY:Driving Productivity Through Industrialisation
DESCRIPTION:The narrative around MMC is changing. There are increasing calls for government to embrace the principles of ‘industrialisation’ as a means to unlocking productivity in the construction sector. The proposed shift in narrative recognises that our long-held interest in the adoption of manufacturing processes and technologies as a means to higher productivity requires a fundamental change in our traditional project delivery model. \nWhere the traditional construction delivery model promotes constant reinvention in what we deliver and how we deliver it\, Industrialised Construction approaches are focused on driving standardisation\, repeatability and continuous improvement in systems\, processes and relationships across suitable programmes and portfolios of work. Through these approaches\, we can create the conditions for manufacturing supply chains to thrive\, and embrace more productive approaches to design\, logistics\, assembly and beyond. \nOn Thursday 25th April\, the CE Offsite Group will join Ron Lang\, Regional Director at AtkinsRealis\, in a debate on why we should shift our focus towards industrialisation if we are to create a modern industry that embraces technological development\, that attracts and retains the best talent and that efficiently delivers high quality outputs that meet the needs of society.\nWhy not come along and share your thoughts?
