About Ashley

Ashley Dawson is Digital Construction Lead at Kier Construction Strategic Projects, leading digital delivery, BIM and information management across major UK programmes in the custodial, defence, science and healthcare sectors. Ashley's LinkedIn profile traces more than a decade in BIM and digital construction, from hands-on coordination and model production to team and programme leadership.

In Morta's Kier Construction Community Showcase, Ashley introduced IM Excellence, Kier's work to connect standards, tools and project data rather than leave successful practices in separate pockets. Ashley demonstrated permission-controlled risk and opportunity registers and a detailed responsibility matrix linking work packages, buildings, suppliers and information requirements. In the example shown, that mapping gave the supply chain 17 relevant rows of requirements instead of a 140-row table. The mechanisms protected project data while narrowing the information each supply-chain participant needed to see.

In their own words

We're really looking at how we connect the dots and connect with data between those tools and those processes so that we can start to look at the bigger data picture.
