BIM and new technologies in construction mean that traditional roles in construction are changing with data becoming a central requirement for projects. This has resulted in new data-driven design approaches emerging. The Association of Data-Driven Designers (www.ADDD.io) has been created out of a research project that identified that these new roles require a Association to support digital specialists in construction who hold a range of non-traditional skills and abilities. New data driven individuals, teams and approaches across construction are supporting a reduction in time, increasing efficiency and moving the industry forward. ADDD+ is aimed at those who would like to adopt more data-driven approaches to increase efficiency, and meet future construction challenges.
