Increasing green retrofits and installation of renewable technologies by SMEs through next generation, cloud-based CAD/Estimating tools to reduce UK housing carbon emissions

* 寻求的资金与工业战略挑战基金，建筑行业交易和建筑剧本保持一致，该剧本侧重于设计，施工和管理的数字方法，以提高建筑生产力，并增加太阳能光伏，电动汽车充电站，空气源热泵和废水热回收系统等可再生技术的绿色改造和安装量，以实现净零;* 采用数码解决方案和自动化程序，以提高建筑的生产力和可预测性 * 采用数码技术，将新的建筑技术和材料融入项目 * 在项目生命周期的早期更好地与供应链整合，减少下游问题 * 鼓励中小企业参与 * 合作100，客户每年委托的房屋/扩建/小型工业项目达2000万套。所有这些都可以通过与其他建筑工程同时进行的可再生技术的绿色改造/安装来提高，以减少能源使用。愿景;愿景是交付下一代，面向英国的项目成果;一片云的综合CAD测量和估算软件工具集。该工具集将帮助中小企业现场测量项目，并指定绿色改造措施，以提高安装量和减少碳足迹现有的住房存量，其中大部分是由中小企业完成。* 实现对现有住宅进行快速、非技术性的现场勘测，并在其他工程的同时实施绿色改造措施 * 即时计算建筑成本，生成专业报价 * 与供应链产品/定价集成，生成准确/可选的投标书 * 即时生成2D计划，3D模型和工作图，包括可再生能源的布置 * 可与IFC输出互操作（英国BIM框架目标）* 与施工阶段云管理集成，鼓励承包商、供应链和客户之间的合作 * 通过易用性/设备独立性使中小企业建筑公司能够采用数字化创新;虽然存在竞争对手的CAD产品，但大多数都是; * 基于桌面 * 耗时/需要培训 * 太贵 * 未与估算/管理软件集成以成本/管理项目（这种非集成导致预算与实际成本相比出现赤字）。* 不适合中小企业现场使用 * 未加强可再生技术的推广和教育此外，尽管存在个别桌面软件，但预计2019-2022年基于云的SaaS工具采用率将增长15%（Statista Technology Market Outlook，2020年10月）桌面软件将迅速过时。这一基于云的项目成果具有创新性和颠覆性，将改变中小企业的运营方式，取代现有的桌面技术; * 基于云的 * 完全集成的CAD测量/估算 * 专为中小企业设计，可在现场使用 * 无需培训 * 采用最新的建筑技术 * 教育和鼓励中小企业进行绿色改造和安装可再生技术 * 负担得起

* Funding sought aligns with the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, Construction Sector Deal and the Construction Playbook which focuses on digital approaches to design, construction and management to improve productivity in construction and increase green retrofits and installation volumes of Renewable Technologies such as Solar PV, EV charging points, Air Source Heat Pumps and Waste Water Heat Recovery Systems to achieve net zero by; * adopting digital solutions and automated processes to improve productivity and predictability of construction * adopting digital to incorporate new building technologies and materials into projects * better integrating with supply-chain early in project lifecycles, reducing downstream issues * encouraging SME participation * working collaboratively100,000's of houses/extensions/small industrial projects are commissioned by clients p.a. all of which could be enhanced to reduce their energy usage through green retrofit/installation of renewable technologies, concurrent with other building works.Vision;The vision is to deliver a next-generation, UK-orientated project outcome; a cloud-based integrated CAD surveying and estimating software toolset.This toolset will help SMEs on site to survey projects and specify green retrofit measures to improve installation volumes and reduce carbon footprint of existing housing stock, the bulk of which are completed by SMEs.Objectives;It will; * Enable fast, de-skilled site-based surveying of existing homes incorporating green retrofit measures concurrent to other works * Instantly calculate building costs, producing professional quotations * Integrate with supply-chain products/pricing to produce accurate/optioneered tenders * Instantly generate 2D plans, 3D models and working drawings including placement of renewables * Interoperable with IFC outputs (UK BIM Framework target) * Integrate with construction phase cloud-management, encouraging collaboration between contractors, supply-chain and clients * Empower SME building firms to adopt digital through ease of use/device independenceInnovation;Whilst competitor CAD products exist, most are; * desktop-based * time-consuming/require training * too expensive * not-integrated with estimating/management software to cost/manage projects (this non-integration causes a budget versus what it really costs deficit). * not fit for SME purpose on site * not enhanced to promote and educate on renewable technologiesFurthermore, although individual desktop softwares exist, with 15% growth in cloud-based SaaS tool adoption expected 2019-2022 (Statista Technology Market Outlook, 10/2020) desktop software will be rapidly obsolete.This cloud-based project outcome is innovative and disruptive and will alter the way SMEs operate, displacing the established desktop technology as it's; * cloud-based * fully-integrated CAD surveying/estimating * designed for SMEs to be used on site * no training required * incorporates the very latest construction technologies * educates and encourages SMEs to green retrofit and install renewable technologies * affordable
