Construction industry speakers meeting at the fifth British Information Modelling Event made a unanimous plea for change in the construction industry<\/h2>\n

In an event that discussed some of the latest advances in digital construction, speakers from Atkins<\/a>, Cogital<\/a> and TfL<\/a> joined event sponsors 3D Repo<\/a> and other technology innovators at The Shard, London.<\/p>\n

The British Information Modelling event also included a lively panel discussion, hosted by Oliver Hughes, Director of Digital Construction Week<\/a>, following the speaker presentations.\u00a0 The event saw for the first time new developments in change and clash detection from 3D Repo, the company behind multi-award winning technology that allows complex BIM datasets from multiple sources to be stored and easily accessed anywhere via the web.<\/p>\n

Alain Waha of Cogital delved into the importance of integrating digital collaboration with the evolution of a new AEC ecosystem where data \u2013 so often inaccessible due to legacy systems and inflexible contracts \u2013 can be freed for widespread, easier access.\u00a0\u00a0 Will Squires of Atkins outlined the steps that are required to transform the industry using digital technology and called for modern construction techniques to be embraced, while Ceki Erginbas from TRL gave an insightful talk on the use of BIM in planning autonomous vehicle routes.<\/p>\n

3D Repo\u2019s Andrew Norrie and Pavol Knapo offered a live demonstration to show how new developments in 3D Repo<\/a> can be used to track changes and highlight clashes in projects, while Charence Wong explained the 3D Repo\u2019s role in a major European project to tackle cyber security threats in the industry.\u00a0 Finally, Dimitrie Stefanescu of Speckle Works<\/a> explained his vision and technology innovation for a global community working in collaboration to create a digitally integrated build environment.<\/p>\n

Jozef Dobos, CEO of 3D Repo said:\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s our fourth year running the British Information Modelling events and it\u2019s encouraging to see that the industry is really beginning to understand the value of digital technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe panel spoke with one voice when they called for change in the outdated processes and systems that still hold back the construction sector.\u00a0 They sent a clear warning that if companies do not change, they will not survive \u2013 as has been seen in other industries where new technology innovators have disrupted and completely changed their market.\u201d<\/p>\n
