It's working out how to get it done that becomes hard.. At present, our focus is on transforming construction into a more future-facing sector.
And there is the big question of who would own the marketplace?Ideally, this would be a neutral broker, such as Government.
And there is even a partial precedent here in the UK in the form of G-Cloud, the UK Government’s Digital Marketplace for cloud technology and specialist digital services..Creating a digital marketplace for construction procurement would have benefits that far outweigh the challenges.Even the steps on the journey, as focus on interoperability, data standards and consistent specifications, would help accelerate the digital shift that is already underway.
There is plenty to think about, but I hope we can continue the debate and, together, create the common vision that will add a whole new dimension to our journey of transformation..

A place of anxiety and relief, illness and joy.
But also a place of catering, deliveries, laundry and car parking..Our purpose is to demonstrate in a very real and everyday context how data can be made fair and open to the widest range of uses and users, while delivering a wealth of benefits, as a result of a digitised planning process, that are both immediate and long-lasting..
The idea behind this concept is not to develop a single digital planning product.This project can generate more benefit by remaining open and accessible to a range of collaborators.
Nor is our aim to start from scratch or reinvent the wheel - we are using the data that is already created through the use of BIM, and existing formats for sharing it..The planning process in the UK touches all of our lives.
