Slate is an AI software platform for the construction industry. According to Slate, the digital assistant “executes multi-dimensional analysis across internal and external data sources, learning as it goes to offer full transparency into the building process”.
The industry’s current focus is on perfecting BIM workflows.
As there are many moving parts on a given construction site, there are also many contractors serving distinct roles with various responsibilities.
How much further can the design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA) approach go? Joel Hutchines calls for data to drive design for constructIbility.
Most people in the construction industry will say that on any given work site, there is always an amount of waste that could have been avoided.
Before and since the world was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, the construction industry has been beset by a struggle to fill positions of all shapes and sizes.
Construction AI software platform Slate Technologies has announced its acquisition of Splash Modular, a North Carolina-based software designer for the industrialised construction and design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA).
Like many industries, people in construction often fall victim to various pitfalls when it comes to decision-making.
As the construction industry has evolved, its advances have been most noticeable in the equipment used on site, and it is easy to forget that the industry has also made advances in adopting tech and data analytics behind the scenes.
f digital construction is the future, we need to understand modern fabrication methods. Richard Harpham ponders if today’s design-centric BIM solutions are the right tools and, indeed, if architecture is the right discipline to take this on?
