Session

The Cost of Broken Information

14:05–14:5550 min

Why are we still not building faster, cheaper, better?

Construction has never had better models, data or digital tools. Yet information is still duplicated, decisions disappear between systems and mistakes are found too late.

We follow the money through the project - from design to handover - and show where broken workflows create real cost, and what changes when information and decisions actually flow.

Agenda

  1. 14:05–14:15

    Aleksander Bjaaland: The Cost of Broken Information Flow

    • Aleksander Bjaaland


    Models are better. Tools are better. Data is everywhere. Yet productivity gains remain stubbornly difficult to capture.

    Aleksander Bjaaland opens the session by following the money through a construction project: Where do unclear decisions, duplicated information, late changes, poor handovers and fragmented responsibilities turn into real cost? And which of these losses should the industry be able to eliminate now?

  2. 14:15–14:25

    Veidekke: The Construction Tech Leaving The Lab

    • Eirik Kristensen

    Robots. Autonomous machines. 3D-printed concrete. AI that sees what is happening on site.

    For Veidekke, these are no longer distant construction trends, but technologies being tested in live projects where they have to survive budgets, deadlines, safety requirements, and the realities of the jobsite.

    Veidekke takes us inside four fields they believe can materially change how we build, what they are testing today, what is already working - and what it takes to turn promising technology into actual production.

  3. 14:25–14:35

    Braathen Eiendom & Somfy: Den billigste energien er den bygget ikke trenger

    • Morten Tobiassen
    • Jørgen Fremstad

    Kan vi redusere energibehovet før vi produserer mer energi?

    Dynamisk solskjerming kan brukes aktivt til å håndtere solvarme, dagslys og energibehov gjennom året. Somfy forklarer prinsippene og teknologien, før Braathen Eiendom viser hvordan dette er tatt i bruk i Dronning Eufemias gate 8 og erfaringene de har gjort seg.

  4. 14:35–14:45

    Curotech: En overlevering driften faktisk kan bruke

    • Bård Einar Torjesen

    Hvordan FDV-dokumentasjonen kan samles inn og kvalitetssikres gjennom prosjektet - slik at byggherren mottar et fungerende grunnlag for drift og vedlikehold, ikke en digital dokumentkirkegård.

  5. 14:45–14:55

    Panel Discussion: Why Do We Keep Losing the Same Money?

    • Aleksander Bjaaland
    • Eirik Kristensen
    • Jørgen Fremstad
    • Bård Einar Torjesen
    • Morten Tobiassen
    We have seen some very different productivity leaks - before construction, during delivery and at handover. The technologies are different, but the underlying problems are not.


    Why do proven improvements remain isolated inside individual projects? Is the real bottleneck technology, procurement, contracts, incentives - or simply the way projects are organised?

    And if the industry had to remove one recurring source of waste from every major project tomorrow, where should it start?
