The concept of 4D schedule simulation holds significant promise to improve project delivery by marrying highly detailed scheduling to building information models (BIM). Unfortunately, this approach has been difficult to implement, as the constantly changing nature of the models, activities, and other schedule data used makes it difficult to share information across project teams. But Oracle and Assemble Systems are working to change that. Oracle Construction and Engineering...

We’re excited to have Darren Bechtel, founder of Brick & Mortar ventures, join us at Oracle Industry Connect 2018 to discuss his work and his perspectives on the “dawn of the digital era” in the AEC industry. I recently sat down with Darren to discuss his journey to become a venture capitalist for the built world and his views on the future of technology in AEC. Why did you start a VC company for the built environment? I was born and raised in the engineering and construction...

The sudden collapse of Carillion reminds us that even titan contractors are not immune to the effects of cavalier fiscal and supply chain management. With all of the confidence placed in organisations of this size, we often fail to arrive at an adequate assessment of risk. Big does not mean unbreakable, and behemoth builders may still buckle under the weight of cascading short-sighted financial strategies. The end result is, without question, unfortunate for all involved –...

The global construction industry continued to make progress last year on efforts to leverage new technology to tackle its longstanding and well-documented productivity challenges. That trend should accelerate further as forward-looking AEC firms embrace new tools, approaches and data-centric strategies to improve project and business outcomes. Kin to the Bechtel dynasty, Darren Bechtel of Brick and Mortar Ventures recently noted in Wired Magazine that construction is “one of...

This post was written by Mark Jenkins, Director of Product Strategy for Oracle Construction and Engineering. The construction industry remains relatively strong, but that doesn’t necessarily mean builders have their houses completely in order. With project owners demanding faster builds and trade resources becoming increasingly scarce, construction companies are keen to identify operational changes that will enhance project execution and boost productivity, both to improve...

For construction companies, visibility into status and activities is critical to project execution. One innovative company, Uplift Data Partners, is taking that fundamental concept to new (ahem) heights, helping construction and industrial organizations get a new level of visibility into their projects by enabling the capture and analysis of drone data to improve outcomes. Uplift will take part in a panel discussion on drone technology at Oracle Industry Connect in April. To...

I have long been fascinated by robots and other technologies that help expand the tasks and activities that can be performed by human beings. What once was science fiction is now being used in hospitals, in factories and on construction sites. During a session at Oracle Industry Connect 2018, Russ Angold of EksoWorks will explore the evolution of exoskeleton technology and the applications and use cases for such innovative technology in several sectors, where exoskeletons...
