In the realm of building management, safety of tenants is of paramount importance. This has led to robust regulatory requirements to ensure that facilities, especially older facilities, are properly maintenanced and that complete digital records of upkeep are accessible.
Through the advent of digital technology in this space, it has given rise to the concept of structures as “living buildings”, with building managers now able to track wear and tear with a much greater degree of visibility and even anticipate potential structural problems before they occur.
On this episode of If/When we unpacked the topic of data-enabled building management with Jacobs Sector Growth Director - Cities and Places, Europe Leighton Cardwell and Jacobs Technical Director - Digital Products Liza-Jane Sapsford.
