Professor John Dyson spent more than 25 years at GlaxoSmithKline, eventually ending his career as VP, Head of Capital Strategy and Design, where he focussed on developing a long-term strategic approach to asset management..
include the new workflows that a Platform construction approach will unlock, including automated and computational design.Digital tools and spatial analysis are strongly linked; it is through the spatial analysis work that we have derived the rules that underpin our configurators.

covers the new models and ways of working required to leverage the benefits of construction Platforms..
The link from ‘Spatial Analysis’ to ‘Delivery’ is through accredited supply chain partners.His hope is that within the next five years we’ll see a much larger portion of the industry engaging with these processes, as we remove technological hurdles such as network connectivity and engagement.
He would like to see more of the sub trades and supply chain making successful requests to use more construction technology.In ten years, he hopes to see the industry building the same amount in five days that it currently builds in six and a half.
We need to use construction technology to enable workers to live more normally, he says, with businesses profiting as a result.The answer isn’t simply to do more jobs, it’s to accomplish more while simultaneously improving quality of life for construction workers.
