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.
