Embracing digital technology

Whether you’re looking to work with BIM, Smart Cities or IoT you need to understand the larger picture before you delve into the details. To help we have put together guides to provide an overview of each digital technology for construction.

BSI Identify helps construction product manufacturers solve the challenge of product traceability in the supply chain.

It’s a unique digital identification service that uses DOI (digital object identifier) technology to provide manufacturers with a single place to add and maintain their product information in real time. This ensures quick, unambiguous identification of any product at the unit level, permanent access to the product information throughout the life of the built asset, resulting in better audit trails, product visibility and safety right across the built environment.

Since April 2016, the UK government has required construction suppliers tendering for centrally-procured government projects, including buildings and infrastructure to be delivered using the UK BIM Framework. BSI is supporting the industry with a range of solutions to address the requirements.

Management of information through life cycle of an asset: design, construction, maintaining, de-commissioning

Managing energy or water as well as managing healthcare, traffic and city logistics for sustainable future growth.

Emerging network of devices connecting everyday objects with sensors and actuators. BSI is a leading global business improvement organization. Our purpose, to make excellence a habit, is underpinned by our role as the national standards body and through our prestigious Royal Charter.

Digital technology, like connected devices through Smart Cities and IoT, can pose bigger information security risks to the built environment. The transfer of digital information from one environment to another can create vulnerabilities in any management system. To ensure your organization remains secure and successful it’s important to implement robust information resilience and cyber security practices, like penetration testing and vulnerability assessments. Our free cyber security report provides a landscape of threats and how to address them. 

Whether your digital journey is just beginning or you’re already fully on-board with new technologies, we can support you – no matter where you are in the lifecycle of a building project.
