AV integrator Project Audio Visual has teamed up with construction performance consultancy BBI Services to launch Digital Performance Hubs, a collaboration space concept developed specifically for the construction industry.
The offering is designed to address a shift taking place across the sector, as construction organisations move away from room-bound, analogue ways of working towards more digital and hybrid models, with teams increasingly spread across sites, offices and remote locations.
The hubs are designed to bring together real-time project data, digital collaboration tools and established performance routines, with the aim of supporting decision-making across all levels of a project — from strategic reviews through to day-to-day site coordination.
Project Audio Visual contributes the technical infrastructure to the partnership, drawing on its experience delivering Microsoft Teams Rooms at scale. BBI Services adds construction delivery and team performance expertise, with the stated aim of embedding the spaces into existing processes rather than treating them as standalone technology installations.
The hubs are described as modular and adaptable, with the ability to be deployed on site, in a head office or across multiple locations.
Mark Worrall, CEO at BBI Services, said: “BBI’s partnership with Project Audio Visual provides the essential support for engagement, collaboration and performance improvement at every level. By digitising familiar practices such as collaborative planning and tiered visual management, our approach supports organisations as they develop into integrated project teams.”
Steve Hudson, COO at Project Audio Visual, added: “This partnership supports the construction industry’s evolving ways of working, on its drive towards digitalisation with a flexible approach to deliver clients’ needs and project delivery goals.”
