The construction industry is currently facing a step change in both the regulatory requirements placed upon the industry and the ever-increasing need for improved transparency and auditability.
The Construction Innovation Hub and the Digital Compliance (D-COM) Network led by Cardiff University are responding to this need by developing a proof-of-concept ‘Digital Compliance Ecosystem’ that will assist in automating the compliance checking process for Building Regulations.
This Briefing Note will introduce the project and describe the need for the Digital Compliance Ecosystem, along with its structure and functionality. In the future, it is our view that this Ecosystem will support the industry in navigating the complex regulatory landscape with greater ease and certainty.
