WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR MARKET?
H
34
H Angus has seen a lot of change in its 100+
years, from drafting on paper, the introduction
of computers and CAD, the shift towards
Building Information Modelling (BIM), and now
computational design. However, today's rate and
availability of technological change is unprecedented.
The Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) industry
has been slow to embrace productivity and technological
advancements. Recently, the industry has been experiencing
change through leveraging existing and emerging technologies in
design and construction. Building Information Modelling (BIM)
tools have become mainstream in our workflows, with increasing
adoption of 3D imaging, estimating software, computational fluid
dynamics analysis, computational modeling, and more.
THE VOICE December 2021
What's driving our industry's embrace of technology and
new processes? Escalating project costs are a major factor.
This typically flows back to consulting engineering firms
through pressure for lower fees - do more or the same work for
less. Sustainability and resiliency are also driving adoption of
new technologies. With buildings contributing nearly 40% of
greenhouse gases, the AEC sector can make a positive impact by
designing and constructing buildings more sustainably.
Over the last decade, our team has explored digital twinning,
smart buildings/IoT and cloud technologies. Through pilot and
research projects, I've had the opportunity to work with folks with
new skillsets that will be valuable for future consulting engineers.
There is vast potential to leverage, to really supercharge our
ability to solve problems for our clients.
