How to Technology ensures sustainability

 BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a process and not an end in itself. Through this process, the building travels with it and is developed from the wishes, needs and requirements of the client (concept phase) to an optimized virtual building (design phase) to a perfectly functioning building (exploitation phase). This process is in full development, whereby all kinds of smart connections are being realized between BIM and the simulation, calculation and monitoring tools. In the above-mentioned European research initiatives, we work closely with our European partners on innovations to optimize the BIM process.

For example, in the STREAMER project we helped with the design optimization for the expansion of the Rijnstate Hospital in Arnhem. During the preliminary design phase we conducted a pilot of the preparation of spatial plans. To ensure the most efficient layout possible, we developed and used a new design process with software.


In a configurator we have indicated how many rooms with which function the customer requires and wants: from the number of operating and rest rooms to receptions and restaurants. Naturally appropriate within the legal requirements. The configurator works on the basis of labels - functions, wishes / needs of the customer and legal requirements - and uses an automated algorithm.


Various scenarios followed from this configurator, after which we analyzed the technical costs and energy consumption of each scenario. The architect, who focused on aesthetic value, also contributed to this. Ultimately, this resulted in the most optimal design. The expansion of this hospital has now been completed and we have received mostly positive reactions from users.


In the INSITER project we are also continuously looking for innovations to improve our BIM process. We use augmented reality to support commissioning and inspection processes. Inspectors are provided with standardized process instructions and are provided with relevant know-how and information. Commissioning managers behind the desk monitor the construction (inspections) and make adjustments if necessary. In the (communication) process, augmented reality solutions ensure higher efficiency. Inspection results, observed deviations and any adjustments are immediately implemented in the BIM model. This process makes it possible to realize buildings without errors and to increase performance during use.


These are just 2 examples of the many innovations that we add to the BIM process. We are convinced that this approach provides control over the entire life cycle of a building. The power of this type of European research project is to develop and validate high-quality knowledge in demo projects. This promotes innovations in construction and ensures a higher construction quality. Investments in these types of projects pay for themselves in new commercial assignments and high (er) appreciation from our clients and cooperation partners. In short: innovation is our distinctive character.

Customer-driven digital transformation is the new normal

Image
Companies that put the customer at the center of their digital transformation during the corona crisis were able to outperform their competitors, concludes PwC in a new study. PwC examined the financial results of more than 500 European companies for two periods.  This includes both 'waves' of Covid-19 infections on the continent.  Some winning success formulas have emerged from the organizations that used best practices, the research shows. Timo Koenen, Customer Transformation Lead at   PwC  in the Netherlands, summarizes the results: “The winners in the new normal will most likely be those companies that put the customer at the center of their transformation and that enable a digital or virtual experience through technology. to make." The importance of customer focus has been making headlines worldwide for some time now.  Customers have raised their expectations in recent years: almost all of them now expect an Uber-like experience when purchasing product...

Digital strategy: leading the user or in the driver's seat?

 The number of digital communication channels of government, healthcare and education is growing by the day. Interaction with citizens, clients and students is taking place via more and more avenues and digital test balloons are launched. With the smallest possible distance to the target group as the goal. And to keep up with the technological rat race. Because users expect the online experience of Cool Blue, right? Experience has shown that a proliferation of channels does not by definition contribute to better online services and information. How did that happen? And how can a sophisticated digital strategy offer a solution? Tick-tocked Agents The 'Digital Government' agenda dictates that government services should take place more from the perspective of the citizen, entrepreneur or student. For many organizations this is the sign - under the guise of digital inclusion - to put the user completely at the center of the development of (new) channels. With the risk of overlookin...

How smart is a Cloud first strategy?

A Cloud-first strategy is increasingly the first option for organisations, institutions and companies to make ICT more effective, safer and more affordable. However, practice shows that too narrow a scope when assessing various cloud applications leads to a sub-optimal ICT infrastructure. In this blog I explain how you can make the right choices and how you can use a Cloud-first strategy effectively. What exactly is a Cloud first strategy? A Cloud-first strategy means that you assess whether all ICT applications within your organization are suitable for the cloud. If a functionally and technically suitable cloud service solution is available in the market, it will be preferred. In the following – somewhat exaggerated – example I show what then happens in practice. A new IT solution is needed. According to the letter of the Cloud first strategy, it is first examined whether the desired solution is available as a cloud service. The cloud solution turns out to be easy to order and deliver...
