Property in digital

Digital means your potential clients can now envision the future

Digital innovation is rapidly transforming Britain's property industry and Arup is at the forefront of this change.

We’re already reaping the benefits of digital

Digital tools like data-driven analysis and BIM (building information modelling) are already helping us improve how buildings are designed and constructed, heighten the experience of the people who interact with them and allow us to analyse how they’ll perform in the long term.

All of this has the ability to impact long-term valuation. But fully realising the potential of digital requires property developers and owners of corporate real estate to move away from a tactical use of digital design thinking to a more strategic approach that touches all aspects of their portfolio management.

Design and construction is rapidly changing as cloud-based building information modelling leads to faster, more cost-effective and more accurate project delivery. ” Volker Buscher Volker Buscher Former Chief Data Officer

Digital means you can make informed decisions about how your investments operate

Operational performance can be radically improved through comprehensive data capture and analysis, as the Crown Estate found when they asked Arup to look at energy consumption across their central London properties.

Digital means you can make better decisions about what to invest in

Deciding where to invest or what to decommission will be easier when you have detailed portfolio-wide information easily displayed, as the work that we’ve done with the University of British Columbia demonstrates.
