The data set developed by the Hub could be expanded (‘upwards’ from spaces into assets and complexes and ‘downwards’ into sub-assemblies and products) to create a holistic data set that would allow suppliers to carry out their own analysis and forecasting.. Where better to publish this data than on a digital marketplace?.
However, he doesn’t think BIM on its own is going to save the day in terms of driving industry change.He says both prescription and innovation have a role to play.

In Australia, different states are following different approaches.The philosophy of 'Design to Value'.

Breaking down silos in architecture and engineering.Martin highlights the importance of integrating multidisciplinary expertise within Bryden Wood to regain control over the design process.
