Why Web 2.0 and the Built Environment?
• “Construction is technophobic”
– Not entirely true
• CAD

Why Web 2.0 and the Built Environment?
• “Construction is conservative”
– Adopts tried and trusted mainstream technologies
(eg: CAD, websites, email, project extranets)
– Often very cost-conscious
– Often very contractual

Why Web 2.0 and the Built Environment?
• “Construction is information-intensive”
– “information overload”
– paper-intensive
www.be2camp.com
Why Web 2.0 and the Built Environment?
• “Construction is not collaborative”
– increasingly sophisticated at managing internal information …
– … but less good at sharing/re-using information with other project team members …
– … and/or with the ultimate owner/operator/occupier
– … and/or other stakeholders

Why Web 2.0 and the Built Environment?
• “Construction is often adversarial”
www.be2camp.com
Why Web 2.0 and the Built Environment?
• “Construction is not very ‘green’”
– “… it is only in the last 10 years or so that the construction industry has really started to consider its environmental impacts.”
– Opportunities for ICT to help• ‘intelligent buildings’ (ie: IT-enabled BMS)• Modelling and assessment tools• performance indicators• automating manual processes (eg: CAD, logistics, tendering, etc)• improving communications• reducing travel, transport

The concept for be2camp started as a Twitter conversation
between Martin Brown, fairsnape and Paul Wilkinson, BIW
following Martin's attendance at barcamp type events,
suggesting we do 'something' for the (UK) built
environment…This discussion was picked by Jodie Miners in Australia,
again through Twitter, and through conversations within
Second Life with Pam Broviak from Illinois, USA.

Be2camp has been organised .. or unorganised … via
international Skype calls, Second Life meetings, blogs,
Google Groups, and via Twitter …. and … oh yes, with
hardly any emails.

Be2camp 2008 happens today … but it is not just
about today … there will be other be2camps (UK,
Sydney, Illinois) … and most importantly the
be2camp site, we hope, will become a hub for built
environment web2.0 matters

“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of
thinking we used when we created them.”

Unless there is a truly open and representative approach
to sustainability, it will be largely ignored,
misunderstood or perceived as irrelevant to those at the
sharp end of the industry.
