Every region interprets compliance differently, and what works in one jurisdiction may not hold in another. This article explores how design automation can adapt to local codes, linking regulatory intent with digital logic in a consistent, transparent way.

Design automation is getting smarter, but not always more real. Most systems still assume perfect materials and unlimited supply. Here we look at why the next leap in automation depends on connecting digital logic to the properties of actual products, so what works on screen also works on site.

Risk sits at the heart of everything in construction, yet it’s one of the least understood forces shaping how projects succeed or fail. Too often, risk is treated as a number to be managed, rather than a system to be designed. This piece explores why the industry keeps getting risk wrong, and how reframing it as a design tool can build smarter, more resilient systems.

Explore how the building design process can be broken down and codified to turn messy, pen-and-paper loops into transparent, scalable workflows.

A national certification scheme for MMC is coming — and it will change how Australia builds.

A closer look at the missing mindset that keeps construction stuck in project-by-project delivery, and how systems engineering unlocks consistency.
