Q

Blockchain

A

Series of linked blocks of data that form a digital ledger
Each time a transaction is made the blockchain confirms and adds it to the ledger
03 key principles of blockchain are:
1 - secure
2 - decentralized
3 - scalable

Q

RFID - radio frequency identification devices

A

Tag is situated on the item or person
Scanner or reader communicates with the tag to retrieve information

Active tags: constant communication with the scanner
Passive tags: only when the tag is close to the scanner

Q

BIM Levels

A

Level 0 - CAD and no collaboration
Level 1 - 3D with low level of collaboration
Level 2 - Possibly 4D and 5D with collaboration

17
Q

Components of technology implementation

A

Implementation process
People
Selection and identification of technology

18
Q

Risks to technology implementation

A

Poor fit with current processes and procedures
Lack of staff expertise
Resistance to change

19
Q

Integrated collaboration platforms

A

Essential to reduce the risk of disintegration across technologies
Example of an ICP is Autodesk Construction Cloud

20
Q

LEVER - leveraging technology to improve construction productivity

A

A predictive model to predict probability of success

Typically technologies with score > 60% are successful and <40% are unsuccessful
Four main stages:

1 - Economic analysis: budgets, benefits
2 - Technical analysis: maturity level, risks, performance and compatibility
3 - Usage issues: acceptance, synergy
4 - Impact
