Abstract

Description: Manufacturers’ product data is an asset, yet all too often its ownership and governance in the construction sector are not discussed. As manufacturers recognise the need for data expertise and demand for data services expands dramatically, what are the pitfalls that manufacturers need to negotiate if they are going to make wise investment decisions?

This respected international panel chaired by Su Butcher discussed the requirements for structured product data post Grenfell, the challenges manufacturers face in meeting these requirements and how to overcome them. Specifically, they focussed data requirements and ownership, data security and compliance, and data technology and working with third parties.
