Many collaborative planning software tools focus on requirements from project planners. In reality it is those working at the coal face who are ultimately the biggest drivers in pushing the project programme forward. DataScope has deployed our award-winning interactive software across more than 100 construction projects globally that aims to engage the supply chain in the collaborative planning process. In this session:
- Learn how leveraging DataScope’s planning and DataTouch software empowers both the main contractor and the supply chain to engage with the project programme
- Learn how to take accountability for scheduling, spot issues and resolve them early

As the industry heads towards net-zero, Scope 3 emissions are increasingly seen as both the biggest challenge and biggest opportunity to reduce our carbon footprint. Causeway’s latest collaborative project addresses the challenges of measuring embodied carbon head-on, providing a ground-breaking solution for contractors, subcontractors and supply chain managers, which moves beyond carbon calculator estimates to real-time reporting across projects. Causeway’s Emerging Technologies Consultant, Dr. Adam O’Rourke will introduce the project and explore the advantages of measuring real-time embodied carbon, the key building blocks of Causeway’s solution and current work with tier 1 contractors to test and develop it.
