Our story
Built from experience across the full lifecycle
Digital transformation in construction is not just about adopting new tools. It is about driving meaningful innovation, improving delivery, and helping the industry work smarter.
Who's behind it
Dan Black
Dan Black has spent his career helping construction and property organisations get real value from digital ways of working, from hands on technical delivery through to client relationships, commercial strategy, and senior consultancy. That range matters. It means the advice given here has been tested from more than one side of the table, not just the side that writes the standard.
Across sectors including defence, healthcare, retail, and infrastructure, Dan has advised organisations on digital strategy, information management, and BIM adoption, benchmarking maturity and closing the gap to best practice, including Golden Thread and Common Data Environment setup where relevant. Dan Black Digital brings that same breadth of experience directly to organisations, turning what has worked on real projects into practical, achievable guidance rather than theory alone.
Our mission
Digital transformation in construction is not just about adopting new tools. It is about driving meaningful innovation, improving delivery, and helping the industry work smarter.
Our vision
Advice shaped by your actual constraints and goals, not a generic playbook applied regardless of who's asking.
Dan Black Digital exists to move organisations toward that standard, one project at a time, in a way that stays with them long after we've left.
Technology and process chosen because they help deliver the project, not because they satisfy a checklist.
Our history
Where this actually started.
Not a single founding moment, but years of watching the same gap repeat itself across different projects and different parts of the industry.
The industry
An evolving industry
Construction and property have been through rapid digital and regulatory change, and many organisations have struggled to keep pace, often unsure exactly what's required of them or where their own pain points actually sit.
The approach
Tailored to the organisation, not just the standard
Standards and regulations set the destination, but every organisation gets there differently. Dan Black Digital was built around that principle: strategies shaped by the organisation in front of us, not a one size fits all reading of the requirements.
Today
Where we are now
A consultancy focused on helping organisations understand their current position, prioritise the changes that matter most, and build the capability to sustain them.
What we believe
The three pillars behind everything we do.
Empathy
Understanding your organisation's actual constraints, budget, capacity, and existing ways of working, before recommending anything, rather than applying the same answer regardless of who is asking.
Excellence
Advice and delivery held to the same standard whether the engagement is a two day review or a six month programme, built on direct project experience rather than theory alone.
Innovation
Genuine curiosity about better ways of working, applied with judgement, so new tools and methods earn their place on a project instead of being adopted for their own sake.
