In the fourth of a short series of Q&As to mark the turning of the year, Johnny Furlong reviews 2024 and looks ahead to this year. The Dalux building owners account executive celebrates the passing of the torch from BIM to information management.

The handover part of information management is broken, Johnny Furlong of Dalux declares. Here he details how it can be fixed.

Recently the BBC website ran a story proposing that technology has not transformed building. The story quoting the far-too-often-quoted McKinsey & Co report that suggests construction is a “digital laggard”, which drew some industry ire. Here, Johnny Furlong of Dalux springs to construction’s defence.

Technology and acting on the data it produces is helping IHP, the Vinci Building/Sir Robert McAlpine, to transform healthcare construction, according to Mark Gibson of Sir Robert McAlpine.

Vinci Building has adopted the Dalux 3D model viewing platform and is set to deploy it across all its sites.

Andrew Gamblen has joined 3D model viewing specialist Dalux as AEC specialist. He was digital platform solutions manager at Willmott Dixon’s Collida offshoot for two years and, before that, had a near-three-year stint as the contractor’s digital manager for the London and East region.

Sir Robert McAlpine is set to roll out a 360-degree site monitoring tool from Dalux.
