Built environment: trusted data from material to asset

Building data, materials, modular construction, computer vision, site inspection and digital twins — on one verifiable record.

Data Foundations

An open built-environment data model

The goal is not to publish companies’ commercial data. It is an open data structure with tiered, authorised access that lets data move between enterprises, platforms and systems.

Data model

Open building data

Materials, products, manufacturers and suppliers; project types, stages, cost, schedule, procurement and lifecycle data.

Standards

Standards & indicators

Structural, fire, waterproofing, thermal, energy and acoustic indicators, mapped between Australian and international standards.

Product library

Machine-readable products

Parameters, certifications, test reports and BIM / CAD / 3D models with unified product IDs and API access.

MMC

Modular & MMC library

Standard modules and components, nodes, load parameters and assembly rules for modular and 3D-printed construction.

Physical Intelligence

From data to the site

Use Cases

Where it is used

  • AI-assisted product selection and procurement
  • Certification and compliance evidence
  • Drone-based site and facade inspection
  • Materials and facade valuation
  • Digital twins for handover

Boundaries

  • Companies’ commercial data is shared only under authorised access.
  • Reported AI use in Australian construction is low, so pilots start with clear data foundations.

Evidence & sources

  • 6% of Australian construction businesses reported AI use in 2024–25 (Australian Bureau of Statistics, Characteristics of Australian Business 2024–25).
