The Centre for Digital Built Britain has published one of the key deliverables of the DFTG: The Roadmap to the Information Management Framework for the Built Environment (the Framework), that will enable the development of the National Digital Twin (NDT).

The Roadmap is intended to set out how the Framework should be delivered. In particular, it shows how the key building blocks of the Framework will fit together to enable effective information management across the built environment.

Delivering the Framework is a considerable challenge and requires industry alignment and a number of key issues to be addressed. In order to make the delivery of the Framework more manageable, the Roadmap has been broken down into five streams of interconnected components.
The Roadmap includes a description of what each component is, descriptions of what needs to be done to put each component in place, their dependencies and timescales, the outline of the costs, and an indication of the relevant stakeholders. Put simply, the Roadmap shows the prioritised route for the delivery of the Framework. The Gemini Principles and the Roadmap form the two key enablers for the delivery of the NDT.

Key streams of the roadmap:
Approach stream
To set up coordinated and aligned activity across the whole NDT programme which will deliver the framework and the benefits of effective information management in the built environment.

The Commons stream
To develop the necessary support for effective information management via guidance, specifications and standards. Taking a “minimum viable” approach to the development of national-level framework resource for effective information management in the built environment.

Change Stream
To facilitate adoption of the framework across the whole ecosystem of the built environment, particularly amongst the early adopters and early majority of both twins and the framework.

Digital Framework Task Group
The Centre for Digital Built Britain’s Digital Framework Task Group (DFTG) was launched by HM Treasury in July 2018. It reports to HM Government through the CDBB Strategic Advisory Board. The overarching purpose of the DFTG is to steer and guide the successful development and adoption of the “Information Management Framework for the Built Environment”.
The creation of the framework forms an integral part of HM Government’s modern Industrial Strategy and Construction Sector Deal. The framework will establish the building blocks to enable effective information management across the built environment and will pave the way for the development of the national digital twin. The DFTG is made up of senior leaders within the landscape and is chaired by Mark Enzer, Chief Technical Officer of Mott MacDonald.
