ABSTRACT
Contemporary debates on the transformation of building methods, the structure of the building industry, and the introduction of new technologies. Key assumptions about the relation between structural and technological changes in the industry and the knowledge, skills, composition, and requirements of the workforce can be challenged by paying attention to day-to-day activities and conditions of site work. It was argued that this allowed for a faster transition between structural and fitting-out work and the elimination of errors resulting from misreading of instructions, faulty measuring out on site or poor construction skills. But it remained unclear whether these were the result of BIM clash or due to human error on site. All fitters are required to initial felt-tip initial joints, prior to lagging, so that if any subsequent fault or error were identified by regular inspection on the job or subsequently in use that fault could be traced to the worker responsible.
