The Common Data Environment: From Planning Through Operations

Apr 5, 2022

Originally aired on 04/28/2022 | 50 Min Watch TIme
As capital projects become more complex, there is a vast and often unwieldy amount of data that is generated across the project life cycle. Unfortunately, many project teams struggle to manage and disperse this critical information. This makes the data less relevant and unactionable resulting in rework, errors and inefficient usage of funds and time.

Only through a common data environment (CDE) platform can contractors and owners realise they can house large data sets digitally — all the way from the design and planning phases of the asset, through field production and into handover and operations. This results in true project visibility that allows diverse stakeholders to collaborate in real time, saving resources and frustration across the entire project life cycle.

In this panel discussion, we will explore how software platforms that operate within a 3D CDE are raising the bar on project visibility for owners and contractors alike.

We’ll discuss how through the adoption of a CDE you can:

  • Retain and leverage the same data throughout planning, construction and operations processes.
  • Permit real-time collaboration by all parties on the project or program.
  • Allow for integrations to other third-party systems not part of the core platform.
  • Make decisions from business analytics at any time.
  • Access information throughout the life of the asset.

Building Beyond Boundaries: The Impact of Women Shaping the Construction Industry

Hosted by InEight’s own Catie Williams, Building Beyond Boundaries: The Impact of Women Shaping the Construction Industry, invites APAC’s leading female voices to join a conversation of mentorship, authenticity, and professional development to ultimately address what we can do to address construction’s gender gap.

In our time together, the panel will explore:

• Finding appropriate mentors, whether they should be male or female, and how men can help.
• Bringing your authentic self to work without minimising your credibility.
• Best practices and initiatives for attracting talented women to the industry.
• Unique voices and perspectives that women bring to the construction conversation.
• Technology’s role in filling knowledge and gender gaps moving forward.

 

This panel offers an insightful and enlightening experience for all attendees as we grow towards a more diverse and profitable future.

The Year of Data: Why Data Is the New Currency of Construction in 2024

The Year of Data: Why Data Is the New Currency of Construction in 2024

2024 marks a tipping point for construction – it’s the year in which data has become more important than even dollars as the currency of the industry. Data informs decisions, helps us be more productive and efficient, and shapes how we spend our money. Without good data, stakeholders are grasping in the dark — and in an increasingly complex and demanding environment, that’s not just frustrating, but dangerous and commercially irresponsible.

This session addresses the urgent need for leaders to adopt a data strategy to overcome challenges and redefine project outcomes. Learn about:

·       Why data literacy is critical for your business

·       The strategic benefits of well-structured data

·       How a robust data asset sets you up for success with AI

Register now to join us Wednesday, 14 February at noon AEDT for a journey into the future of data excellence in construction.

How To Unleash AI’s Potential in Construction Part 2 – APAC

How To Unleash AI’s Potential in Construction Part 2 – APAC

In an industry steeped in tradition, we are on the cusp of an exciting, AI-driven transformation. Join us for part two of this provocative webinar series as we examine AI’s potential within a cautious construction landscape. Explore how current research is reshaping perceptions, propelling AI from scepticism to strategic advantage. See how advanced data integration fuels AI’s capabilities and unlocks the doors to precise scope, cost, and schedule management.

InEight’s Rob Bryant returns as moderator for part two. He will be joined by Ajoy Bhattacharya of Microsoft, Dr. Ali Khaloo of Aren, and Professor Eduard Hovy of Melbourne Connect as they discuss real-world success stories on leveraging AI’s power.

In this webinar, you’ll learn

  • How current research is altering traditional perceptions and paving the way for AI’s acceptance in construction.
  • How advanced data integration empowers AI and propels it toward a revolutionary new level of project management.
  • Steps to harness AI’s capabilities and foster growth within a traditionally sceptical construction sector.

Please note that this is a replay of recorded discussion, but Rob and Professor Hovy will join at the webinar’s conclusion for a live question and answer session.
