Online resources: Summary: Identifies the opportunities that digital construction can offer to improve the process of building and living in new homes. Report reveals that using digital methods would make it easier for supply chain partners to react to changes and issues raised by planning authorities, surrounding residents, customers and site staff. The integration provided by digital approaches in the construction process could save organisations hundreds of man hours and dramatically slash wasted materials and expenditure lost using traditional building methods. The research also showed that technology connected to sensors could see future houses equipped with a ?digital nerve centre? linked to a house dashboard or smartphone app.
