Global Data and Data Standards and How These are Linked Webinar - Recorded 11 July 2024

Overview

In the construction industry, data and data standards are closely linked and play critical roles in various aspects of the construction process, from planning and design to construction and facility management.

This webinar would look at how data and data standards are linked and associated benefits. It is anticipated that Data Standards such as NRM/BIM/ICMS/WLCA/BECD that although are all separate and independent are all linked by a common theme of data.

The webinar will be discussing what if the global construction industry adopted a common data standard? What are the benefits of linking data and data standards?

Key topics

• Information Management: How data standards provide a framework for organising and managing information throughout the lifecycle of a project.
• Inter-operability:  Data standards facilitate interoperability between different software applications and tools used in the construction industry. When data is structured according to commonly accepted standards, it becomes easier to exchange information between different software platforms, reducing the risk of data loss or misinterpretation.
• Regulatory Compliance: Data standards may also play a role in ensuring regulatory compliance within the construction industry. Standards related to data security, privacy, and quality may be mandated by regulatory bodies to protect sensitive information and ensure the integrity of construction projects.
• Analytics and Insights: Standardised data enables better analytics and insights into construction projects. By capturing and structuring data in a consistent manner, stakeholders can analyse trends, identify opportunities for improvement, and make data-driven decisions to optimise project outcomes.

Learning outcomes

• Learn how standards like NRM, BIM, ICMS, WLCA, and BECD interconnect to enhance data utilization in construction, driving efficiency and quality across projects.
• Explore the transformative benefits of adopting a unified data standard globally, including streamlined processes, improved project delivery, and robust quality assurance.
• Discover how data standards not only facilitate seamless interactions between various software but also ensure compliance with critical regulatory standards, protecting project integrity and data security.
• Understand how standardized data fosters powerful analytics and insights, enabling stakeholders to make informed, data-driven decisions that optimize construction project outcomes.
