Join the CE Digital By Default group on Thursday 8th May for a session on Digitalisation of Reinforcing Steel (Rebar). The group will hear from Ladin Camci BSc MSc, Chief Technology & Sustainability Officer (CTSO) & Executive Board Member of CARES, and Andrew Woolnough CEO of CARES’ digital partner Digital Construction Solutions.   Session Overview Checking the truth of a product’s provenance has never been more important or needed than now – and reinforcing steel (rebar) is one of the most safety-critical elements in any project. Structural engineers and contractors increasingly need to understand the environmental impact of their designs, particularly the carbon footprint of the materials they specify and use. Obtaining provenance and accurate embodied carbon footprint data from Environmental Product Declarations for materials like steel has historically been a challenge. The existing rebar steel supply chain workflows were still inherently labour intensive, paper-based and not capable of connecting the full product supply chain, which made the process susceptible to impairment or malicious alteration potentially leaving significant gaps in the assurance trails. Further to this, with the existing paper-based solutions, documents are stored in a way that makes locating them more complex increasing search time for information stored across paper, inboxes and network folders. In addition to this, visually mapping and reviewing different stages of the supply chain are rendered extremely challenging due to poor recording and traceability. To enhance the existing paper-based workflows through the advancement of a digitalised process that required the development of bespoke data collection methodologies and integrating with advanced levels of verification and quality assurance capabilities.  The CARES Cloud (https://cares.cloud/) has been developed to address and solve these urgent issues, bringing simplicity to a complex supply chain while restoring trust where it’s missing. The solution is a digital traceability and assurance platform consisting of the...

Join the CE Digital By Default group on Thursday 10th July for a session on the BuildAudIt Platform. The group will explore how this Innovate UK funded project can make the building audit process smarter. BuildAudIt was a 12 month Innovate UK funded project (under their BridgeAI funding scheme), involving a consortium including BRE, Enable My Team, UNIT9 Apps, Reusefully and Imperial College. The consortium brought together knowledge and expertise in Pre-retrofit & Pre-demolition audits (PRA / PDA), building data collation/analysis and the use of AI including Large Language Models, natural language processing & visual data recognition. The project has developed a ‘proof-of-concept’ version of an AI-enabled platform for accurate, cost-effective PDA/PRA’s of existing buildings. However, we realise that these tools could be applied to a range of surveys / audits of existing building stock, including sustainability, fire risk, condition surveys, due diligence among other. BRE are now exploring exploitation / commercialisation of project outcomes. Find out more. This event provides Constructing Excellence National members with CPD in partnership with BRE Academy.
