CHAPTERS:
1:03 - What are your initial thoughts on remote working?
2:16 - Could you introduce yourself and tell us about your background professionally and personally?
4:18 - Did you say you've been involved in some of the Potter films?
4:58 - What drew you to the Architecture and the Manufacturing side?
6:28 - We've personally seen that HP have been ramping up their efforts around remote working solutions. Would you say you've seen a high demand for solutions to suit this in the AEC industry?
9:04 - Are there any examples that you could touch on around sharing data in the construction or architecture industry?
12:27 - Does project work differ in any way because they're on shorter timescales or how does it work?
14:02 - You mentioned the synergies between the media world and now the AEC world in terms of visualisation, could you expand on this or is there anything coming up in the future on that?
17:00 - You touched on having that same experience out of the office at home, are there any examples from other industries that are really doing this well?
20:42 - Are there any key differences you've seen from your experience between how they operate in terms of remote working when compared to AEC?
22:10 - Is there anything more you think these industries can do to encourage it? Or is it the fact that they don't know about the infrastructure that's needed? What do you think it is that scares people around it?
24:54 - In terms of robotics, you mentioned that was used a lot during COVID, what about things like that now in today's hybrid world? Do you think in two years time we'd see more robotics out on site?
26:26 - Are there any exciting developments or upcoming projects?
