The construction industry has long recognised the potential for digital technology to improve productivity, advance construction techniques and improve quality. That said, the journey towards digital transformation has not been a straightforward or rapid one.
Now suddenly everything has, and continues to, change in the wake of something the industry could never have foreseen – the global Covid-19 pandemic. It has brought about a change in attitude towards digital tools and expedited decisions on investments in new technologies forcing firms to employ different – and for some wholly unfamiliar – practices, with the working lives of many being altered beyond recognition.
What lessons have been learned from the experience so far? Will modernisation and digital transformation continue to accelerate and become the new standards in the construction sector?
Like many other industries, it is almost inconceivable that construction will return to its old way of doing business. Everything from business processes, design, drawing up contracts, material supplies to activity on site has been impacted. The question is to what extent will these learnings be used? And, which Covid-dictated improvements have the best chance of being adopted in the long-term?
The CIF’s 2021 Digital Construction Summit will focus on the technological advancements in the industry, both at home and overseas, and will take a close look at the latest innovations being adopted in the sector, the competitive advantage they can bring to your business and the role they play in complex construction projects. Leading professionals will share their experiences and expertise and discuss the latest trends in digital construction.
Join us on June 17 for a day of thought-provoking content on the latest innovations and opportunities, as well as virtual networking with both industry peers and experts.
