Traditional AEC collaboration: issues• Incompatible IT = unreadable data = heavy reliance on
paper• Extensive – and expensive – production of paper• Email overload• No single version of ‘the truth’• ‘Islands’ of information• Poor security• Low transparency of information, opaque processes• No complete project record, no audit trail, risk of
disputes/litigation• Low quantity/quality of information for FM or O&M
purposes

pwcom.co.uk
• Fewer interoperability issues
• Less paper
• Latest information available to all
• Complete record of project
• Full information audit trail
• Single central repository of information
• Greater re-use of information (eg: for H&S File, standards, tendering, defects mgmt, O&M, etc)
What does it look like…?
So collaborate!

Technology issues (1):• Standards
• a la “Betamax or VHS”? • Interoperability
• Cost• do we need new hardware/software (eg: CAD)?• new telecoms links?• printing costs pushed down supply chain?• clients might expect lower fees?
• Training• Implementation

Technology issues (2):• Industry slow to adopt new technology
• Legal status of electronic communication• Contractual relationships with technology provider• ASP service interruption or unforeseen termination• Preference for paper• Copyright, archive concerns
• Suspicion/fear re web-based or web-enabled technologies• Security – hacking, viruses• Reliability – 24/7 access, backup• Too transparent (threat to old-style attitudes)
• ‘Dot.com doubt’ – re ASP/SaaS/on-demand providers• Too many suppliers• Who will survive?

• Mid 1990s first experiments with project websites
• Late 1990s project websites used to host documents and drawings
• 2000 Dot.com boom … and bust!
• 2000-2002 internet faith low; slow growth for survivors
• 2003-2005 increased internet faith; more sustained growth;
web-based collaboration becoming normal
• 2008-2009 Recession and the rise of low-cost solutions
• 2010- Collaboration - so what? What next?

work with or have experience of the technology Several benefits are widely accepted/associated
with the technology (following seen as substantial by 80%+ of users): Documents can be accessed 24/7 Project information available centrally Less money spent on couriers/post Less chance of losing important documents Better audit trail

Strong commitment to a still evolving technology (it took 10+ years for CAD to become commonplace)
Vendors need to do more to overcome designers’ and sub-contractors’ reservations
time and cost savings were not ranked as the most important areas of differentiation – the key perceived benefits relate to better control, communication and collaboration
Perceived obstacles mainly relate to people and processes (eg: implementation, education/training issues), not technology

• Less about file storage/exchange• More about key business processes• Move beyond simple processes (eg: RFIs, change orders,
transmittals, etc)• ‘Collaboration-plus’
• Corporate standards (eg: standard designs, specs)
• Health and safety management (eg: non-conformance reports)
• Procurement (ie: e-tendering)
• Project financial control
• Quality control (defects/snagging – mobile solutions)
• Contract change management
• Facilities management support

Shift from CAD to BIM• “CAD helps people to draw. BIM helps people to
construct.” (Richard Saxon, Ecobuild, February 2009)
• “BIM is not CAD. BIM was never meant to be CAD. CAD is a replacement for pen and paper, a documentation tool.” (Pete Zyskowski, Cadalyst)

Paul Morrell:bidders and contractors
on future UK public building projects will
use BIM.
• “We have commissioned a team drawn from BIM users across the industry, both clients and suppliers, and software developers, to prepare a route map that shows how we can make a progressive move to the routine use of BIM.
• “I am convinced that this is the way to unlock new ways of working that will reduce cost and add long-term value to the development and management of built assets in the public sector.”

• What is Web 2.0?
– the use of web technologies and web design to enhance
creativity, information sharing, and, most notably,
collaboration among users.
– Not: one-way, a monologue, received-only
– Two-way, conversational, participative, active

• Conservative• Slow to change - inertia• Very fragmented – danger: preach to the converted only, while
majority continue with old approaches• Focused on delivery, not ‘whole life’
People and processes (2): inter-organisation
• Necessary evil or a strategic objective?• One project at a time or long-term relationships?• Contractual or collaborative attitude?• Own agenda or mutual objectives?• Management approach

on its investment.
“… enormous potential …lies in more intelligent use of ICT … in improving communications, reducing or removing transaction costs, transforming the way that buildings are designed, creating more direct links between design and fabrication/assembly, removing the coordination errors that too often block productivity etc.”(Paul Morrell, UK chief construction adviser, December 2009)

• Construction collaboration technologies survived the “dot.com doom”
• Benefits of online collaboration are clear …
• … yet overcoming resistance has more to do with changing culture (people and processes) than technology
• UK market still buoyant, but generic collaborative technologies are spreading, and other vendors could look to expand footprint in AEC market
• Collaboration vendors, customers and users therefore need to look• look beyond file-sharing (eg: process management, financial
control, mobile working)• understand the SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) or On-Demand
revolution• embrace BIM, embrace web 2.0
• New business models will emerge in next 2-3 years
