Vice-chair of buildingSMART UK&I and DCW 2022 Construction Champion of the Year, Emma Hooper, joins the BuildData’s Research Institute as Head of R&D

London, UK—21^st September 2023:  Today, BuildData Group AB (“BuildData”) announces the launch of its Research Institute, headed up by Emma Hooper, who will be responsible for research and development across the group’s brands, Zutec & Createmaster.

Set up to better understand and take a lead on the digital transformation of the built environment, the BuildData Group Research Institute will focus on the importance of information as data, its role today and tomorrow as a valuable asset, and devise strategies and concepts to build out an information theory that will drive better building outcomes.

The built environment and digital worlds are constantly evolving, and ensuring the right stakeholders have the right information at the right time is critical. By digging deeper into the construction industry with regards to trends, standards, policy, regulations and best practice that influence information and data today, the primary purpose of the Research Institute will be to actively help shape, guide and educate the industry through research and thought leadership, with an emphasis on information management which is at the heart of digital transformation.

The BuildData Group Research Institute launches with a new paper written by Emma Hooper: “Rethinking Information Management and Modelling”, which focuses on whether the golden thread of information, a requirement of the Building Safety Act, is a product of good information management, asking the question and reviewing what needs to happen to improve the management of information across the built environment?

Emma Hooper, Head of R&D at BuildData Group’s Research Institute, states, “Our belief is that the industry requires a centre of excellence that looks at the bigger picture of information management and a common data framework, acting as think tank to help educate and shape data strategies. Our findings will feed into the wider work of BuildData Group to help provide the communications, services and products which will benefit one of the least digitised industry in the world — construction.  However, crucially it will feed into the industry itself and how we can take an integrated approach to ensure better connected and structured data which has a consistent digital language as the industry moves towards a golden thread of information.”

Gustave Geisendorf, CEO at BuildData Group, adds, “With an ever-evolving market, building regulations and standards, the Research Institute comes at a time when the role of information in the built environment has never been more necessary. It will not only enable us to deepen our knowledge and expertise of the built environment and changing landscape, but gives us the mechanism to share insight, thought leadership and research with the construction industry that helps shape its direction, particularly when it comes to building information management and modelling. We want to create a safer and more sustainable built environment, where information is as important as the building itself, and we will use our findings to educate the industry at large and drive new compelling events through digitalisation.”

About BuildData

BuildData Group AB is a SaaS provider within construction and property technology and is listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market. Redeye AB is the Company’s acting Certified Adviser (Tel. +46 8 121 576 90, certifiedadviser@redeye.se www.redeye.se).

 

Building information management leader comes together with Createmaster to strengthen structured information delivery across the asset life cycle. 

London, UK—19^th September 2023:  Today, BuildData Group AB (“BuildData”) announces it’s bringing together two of its brands to improve the way building information is specified, delivered and managed across the whole life of an asset, with Bond Bryan Digital rebranding to Createmaster Information Management. 

Combining the multi-award-winning information management and modelling company (Bond Bryan Digital) with the UK number one brand in Digital Handover (Createmaster) will bring many benefits to players across the building lifecycle. From building design, construction and handover to operations and maintenance, this complementary fit in terms of solutions will support an industry navigating mandatory building information reform.

Today both brands work with clients and contractors from across the UK to define and deliver building information and documentation across the RIBA stages of the building lifecycle, supporting customers with information management and compliance. 

Bond Bryan Digital rationalises digital building information requirements for its customers and provides information delivery based on industry best practice and international standards, including the UK BIM Framework and ISO 19650.

Createmaster provides digital handover solutions, collating, validating, and delivering asset information and building manuals for customers to support Building Safety Act Gateway 3 compliance and ensure a smooth handover at project completion. 

Core solutions delivered to customers won’t change, but the Createmaster brand will be enhanced by adding market-leading information management and building information modelling (BIM) solutions from Bond Bryan Digital.

This move is part of a longer-term goal to provide better connected and structured data to customers, with a consistent digital language as the industry moves towards a golden thread of information. It also means greater joined up thinking around data and how it can be more closely tied to document delivery. Under the Createmaster brand the two businesses can provide a more holistic approach to the specification, production and management of building information, ultimately strengthening the information delivery model. 

Commenting on the name change, Gustave Geisendorf, CEO at BuildData Group, says, “With both brands being credible market leaders, bringing Bond Bryan Digital into the Createmaster fold makes sense at a time when building information management is in the spotlight. New and updated standards and regulations, such as The Building Safety Act, put an emphasis on digitised building information, which is not only accessible, but accurate, discoverable and understandable. Therefore, having connected data is critical. 

“Not only can we enhance the work we do for our customers but also respond to the changing regulatory landscape and built environment requirements faster. By creating simpler paths to navigate data and the digital ecosystem, we can develop a clear purpose-driven data approach that seamlessly integrates information and delivers more stakeholder trust. This will meet market requirements for a true golden thread of information, supporting compliance that leads to better building outcomes.” 

Bond Bryan Digital Limited will now trade as Createmaster Information Management Limited.  To find out more, please visit: www.bondbryandigital.co.uk or www.createmaster.co.uk
