There are bound to be other mid span options: using other value drivers as a start point will no doubt give rise to other types of mid span platform e.g.a timber based or light gauge steel..
However, it’s critical that, as an industry we converge on a small number of platform options.If we lose control of the number of options available, we are back to square one - we lose the benefit of standardisation, and we then lose the simplicity this creates in terms of technical compliance.. To encourage industry adoption, we have open sourced all our data, experience and learning on Platform II.. A digital library embeds specifications and compliance into upfront design and tracks these through to delivery..The smaller number of elements to manage vs. a traditional design, captured in a digital library, will facilitate the creation of accurate, consistent and well-organised information and version control..
This digital library will structure data so that design can more rigorously demonstrate compliance, earlier in the process.It embeds sets of rules/data requirements regarding interfaces, technical requirements and standards that sit behind the models, giving a more holistic set of information.
BSA compliance data, tolerances, load, thermal performance and energy efficiency technical standards, rules around interoperability etc..
Stored in an open access, central location, the digital library is the bedrock of the digitised design to construction process.It’s not enough just to measure cost and time.
We need to make a strong case for the other value outcomes as well, including productive growth and social value..Finally, we need to have a certain amount of flexibility on the journey to meeting our goals.
It’s critical to know where we’re heading, but we shouldn’t rush down the wrong path for political expediency or short-term measures.We’ve got to be able to respond to emerging needs, placing greater emphasis on what may be required at any point, be that lowering carbon emissions, social value, or any other value driver, and we’ve got to respond in the right way and at the right pace, so we don’t get taken off course.
