NBS\u2019<\/a> annual Digital Construction Report found that construction technologies are set to be a game-changer within the next five years. David Bain, NBS research manager, takes a look at some of the report\u2019s key findings and the technologies that are shaping the sector<\/h2>\n

NBS\u2019 Digital Construction Report\u2019s<\/a> aim is to provide a detailed snapshot of the construction industry and how it\u2019s responding to digital transformation. 2021\u2019s findings have been as equally eye-opening as its predecessor, the National BIM Report. With responses from nearly 1,000 built environment<\/a> professionals, perceptions around digital technologies and their effectiveness are overwhelmingly positive and the trend for digital adoption shows little sign of slowing down.<\/p>\n

Digital is key<\/h3>\n

More than five years on from the UK government\u2019s BIM mandate and its impact is now becoming visible. According to our findings, BIM has now become the norm for those working in major practices. 99% of workers who are employed at larger UK architectural firms (containing 51 people or more), now use BIM within their roles.<\/p>\n

\"Digital<\/p>\n

For smaller UK architectural practices, BIM isn\u2019t as entrenched \u2013 57% of employees use the process. Although this is changing \u2013 over a third (35%) have plans to make the move within the next five years.<\/p>\n

An interesting observation has been the minority 10% of all types of smaller organisations which say they\u2019re not and will never use BIM \u2013 yet this buck in the trend could be due to BIM cost implementations, as well as a reduced requirement for BIM within smaller projects.<\/p>\n

Overall, BIM usage remains strong – 71% now use it, which is consistent with adoption levels seen in previous years. Eight in 10 also stated that digital technologies deliver a better built environment, while three-quarters (75%) said that tech offers sustainability benefits.<\/p>\n

\"Digital<\/p>\n

Going for gold<\/h3>\n

As the industry faces significant regulatory changes with the introduction of the Building Safety Bill, construction safety is now of paramount of concern. Central to new legislative developments is the \u201cgolden thread\u201d of information, providing an up-to-date digital record of data to maintain and operate a building. This includes information and documents as well as information management processes, all stored as structured digital information.<\/p>\n

The need for this approach within working practices is being recognised by those within the built environment \u2013 70% say they need to have adopted BIM to make the golden thread a reality, while eight in 10 (78%) say they need to be working digitally. However, for some, strategy is still needed on how this will be implemented \u2013 just 51% are clear on how they will do this.<\/p>\n

\"Digital<\/p>\n

More needed for digital twins<\/h3>\n

The use of digital twins<\/a> is also helping to create safer built environments \u2013 essential information can be accessed in one place and allows for the constant monitoring and maintenance of an asset. Yet despite three-quarters (74%) of respondents believing that digital technology is creating a safer industry, the use of digital twin adoption remains relatively slow, with just 16% having worked on a project that used a digital twin in the past year.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the highest usage of digital twins was among clients, who used the process to understand how an asset performs in situ while improving build quality within existing and new structures.<\/p>\n

The \u201cnew tech\u201d movement<\/h3>\n

The move to MMC (Modern Methods of Construction) is now starting to take place \u2013 half of survey respondents have worked on an offsite project (50%). However, if the sector is to reach the government mandate of 25% of new homes built by MMC, further adoption is needed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

NBS\u2019 Digital Construction Report also revealed that three-quarters of the industry (77%) use cloud computing. This result is a marked improvement compared to 2020 figures, which stood at 42% – another sign that the golden thread is being taken seriously.<\/p>\n

As construction sites become digital tech \u201chotspots\u201d, over a third (35%) are using immersive tech such as VR\/AR and half (50%) plan to within five years \u2013 showing that digital technologies that improve safety and data collection are becoming a key part of the industry\u2019s evolution.<\/p>\n

Respondents were also asked to rank how various technologies or ways of working are set to transform the sector for the better over the next five years. Encouragingly, \u201cBIM\u201d ranked as number one, followed by \u201ccloud computing\u201d, \u201coffsite construction\u201d, \u201cdigital twins\u201d and \u201cAR\/VR mixed reality\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Change is in the air<\/h3>\n

Looking back over the 11 years since NBS\u2019 research around BIM and digital transformation first began, we can see how it\u2019s helped architects and specifiers deliver marked improvements to build quality, productivity and profitability.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s clear that the industry still remains in a state of flux and change is still afoot. For many, BIM is now entrenched in working day practices, while for some it\u2019s still in progress.<\/p>\n

As the sector faces further challenges, such as the need to work more sustainably and safely spurred on by a changing regulatory environment, it will be interesting to see if BIM and the use of digital twins begins to ramp up further in next year\u2019s report.<\/p>\n

The sector is to embrace big changes over the next 12 months \u2013 and it isn\u2019t a far stretch to suggest that as legislation evolves in line with government backing, that these approaches may become mandatory. But for now, only time will tell.<\/p>\n
