Did you know STWs (Standard Templates and Workflows) are important because they serve as the foundation for improving the entire building process—from design through construction to operation? When properly developed and implemented, STWs create consistent data structures and streamlined processes that allow information to be easily accessed, shared, analyzed, and reported across all project phases. This enables better decision-making through metrics and analytics, not just for the current project but also for future ones. STWs help reduce inefficiencies caused by siloed systems, inconsistent tools, and fragmented workflows across different organizations. They support collaboration, increase quality, save time, and lower costs. In short, STWs are key to unlocking the full potential of technology and data in the AECO industry.
