Our Digital Services

Enabling your digital enterprise journey with our digital advisory service and cutting-edge technology. Our depth of experience in the AEC industries, enables us to bridge the information gaps between your siloed teams.

  • Leveraging our domain expertise, we offer strategic digital guidance that pairs our industry knowledge with our experience with digital transformation. Our advisory service aims to build your vision into a reality, by delivering not just systems but a collaborative environment that empowers your projects, people and future operations.

  • Customised to the unique needs of your project, our modular approach to CDEs enhance project delivery and facilitate smoother collaboration. Rather than offering a platform (as is commonplace in our industry) we work with your existing technology stack and build towards an integrated future-ready ecosystem to support your enterprise.

Digital & Data Advisory

Utopia Digital's advisory services are designed specifically for businesses in the AEC industries. We streamline activities within a project’s lifecycle using digital processes; from strategic planning through to the final delivery and handover of digital assets.

  • Our service advises AEC firms on adapting digital delivery methodologies and new ways of working. We tailor strategies to suit your existing technology and operating model, industry compliant delivery through ISO 19650 delivery. We provide guidance on adhering to information standards ISO 27001/2.

  • Enterprise Architecture integrates AEC delivery and IT strategies, using frameworks like TOGAF for alignment with strategic goals. We unite project delivery and IT infrastructure teams, which is crucial for the cultural digital transformation required to deliver a project. This approach ensures people’s agility and digital readiness.

  • We aim to bring clarity to our client’s data environments through the implementation of DAMA-DMBOK framework - establishing governance, quality, and security. Through data restructuring we improve the accessibility of your digital datasets, to improve your decision making and operations.

  • We provide a comprehensive service that guides AEC projects through the adoption and integration of digital tools and methodologies for project delivery. We offer expertise in implementing DE tools; CAD, BIM, GIS, and Survey, into an integrated CDE ecosystem, ensuring your workforce is trained and your data models are optimised for digital delivery.

  • We develop the necessary technological foundation for the creation of digital twins from information developed during the lifecycle of AEC projects. We set up digital systems, train your team on their use, and providing ongoing support to ensure effective management of digital twins for real-time analysis and decision-making.

  • Our Digital Delivery & Handover service ensures a smooth data handover process at the project's completion. We offer targeted support and digital solutions to transition information from the project CDE to the Enterprise Asset Management System (EAMS) ensuring that all project data verfied and compliance with ISO 55001.

Feel free to ask us about:

ISO 19650: A global standard that establishes guiding principles on managing information over the whole life cycle of a built asset using building information modelling (BIM)."

Digital Engineering: A modern discipline involving the integrated, digital approach to engineering that uses detailed models and simulations for project planning, delivery, and management.

DAMA-DMBOK: A compendium of guidelines and best practices for data management developed by the Data Management Association to guide data governance and management efforts.

ISO 27001/2: International standards specifying the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system.

TOGAF: A framework and methodology that provides a comprehensive approach to the design, planning, implementation, and governance of an enterprise information architecture.

ISO 55001: An international standard that specifies requirements for an effective asset management system, focusing on developing, coordinating, and the control to achieve asset-related objectives.

Digital Ecosystems

We create adaptable ecosystems for the AEC industries by leveraging decades of experience in developing unified CDE environments. We align technology with project needs, with solutions serving projects rather than technology dictating the outcomes.

  • Enterprise frameworks integrate your digital and business strategies, facilitated by technology and AEC processes. Our service aims to have your digital initiatives aligned with your organisational objectives, promoting effective digital transformation and enhancing operational efficiency.

  • Our CDE Implementation service provides a structured approach to establishing a Common Data Environment, critical for efficient data management and collaborative work in AEC projects. We tailor the CDE to fit your specific project needs and workflows, ensuring it becomes an easy core part of your delivery.

  • We offer CDE integration services that connect disparate software and systems, creating a unified and interoperable digital ecosystem. This integration facilitates a streamlined workflow, improving data sharing and collaboration across teams and disciplines, thereby enhancing project decision-making.

  • Our service in CDE automations focuses on optimising your Common Data Environment by automating repetitive tasks and data workflows. This not only increases efficiency but also reduces the potential for human error, enabling your team to focus on more strategic and creative tasks, accelerating project delivery.

  • We design and implement robust data pipelines to ensure efficient data flow and processing within your digital ecosystem. This service is vital for managing large volumes of data, enabling effective data analysis, enhancing data quality, and supporting informed decision-making across your organisation.

  • Focusing on CDE security, we provide services aimed at safeguarding your data within the Common Data Environment. We implement security protocols and measures to protect data integrity and confidentiality within the CDE, ensuring your digital assets are secure and compliant with relevant industry standards

Feel free to ask us about:

Common Data Environment (CDE): A centralised digital space that stores, manages, and disseminates information for all project teams, ensuring data consistency and collaboration.

API Integration: The process of connecting different systems and applications via their APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to allow them to exchange data and functionalities.

Data Lake: A storage repository that holds a vast amount of raw data in its native format until it is needed, supporting the storing, processing, and analysing data in various formats.

Data Pipeline: A set of data processing elements connected in series, where the output of one element is the input of the next, used for aggregating, manipulating, and transforming data.

RESTful API: An architectural style for an application program interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to access and use data, offering a stateless, client-server, cacheable coms protocol.

ETL (Extract, Transform, Load): A data integration process involving data extraction from different sources, transforming it into a format suitable for analysis, and loading to target database.
