NEW CLC SMART CONSTRUCTION DASHBOARD PUBLISHED working group merged with the demonstrator projects and business case working group enabling the set metrics to be specified on housing projects and to demonstrate best housing practices against the UK Government’s Construction 2025 goals.
The Construction Leadership Council Smart Construction Dashboard demonstrates housing sector performance using a set of agreed KPI’s and Benchmarks. The dashboard contains maturity metrics for cost, digitisation, waste, energy, productivity (pre-manufactured value), carbon, health, safety and speed of build, and wellbeing. Since the first release of the dashboard in October 2018the sector has evolved. The UK government’s construction transformation funds has enabled housing projects to focus on future performance and innovation. Covid-19 has substantiated the requirement for an accelerated approach to deliver Smart construction. Digital technologies are gaining momentum in the sector, with leading contractors embracing and investing in advanced manufacturing and measurement. We are observing substantial progress with investment to transform the sector, such as the Urban Splash £90M deal with Sekisui, as well as TopHat receiving investment of £75M from Goldman Sachs. In 2019 our CLC Innovation in Buildings workstream measures 42

I’m pleased to announce the release of our second Housing Dashboard incorporating new data from 2019 to show the performance of the sector against the metrics. Greater guidance will be given for housing providers, developers and contractors to measure the performance on their own housing projects. We have introduced a new health and wellbeing measure,
and made enhancements to the dashboard which consist of some new benchmarks, created by gathering better data sources with improved methodologies. The 2020 target is set at a 20% improvement on the benchmark target. Along with each metric, there is a progress box containing a circle with a number in the middle. The number in the middle of the circle represents the % change between the 2019 benchmark figure and the 2018 benchmark figure. The circles round the outside represent the % progress towards the 2020 target, with the white line representing the % progress made. See below.
