As the construction industry’s embracing of digital construction continues apace, the team at Verifi3d look back at the path so far- and what might come next Traditionally, the construction industry has been seen as slow to embrace technological advancements, such as the ongoing digital transformation, without compelling reasons to do so. However, in recent years, a significant shift has occurred, driven by the need for greater efficiency, reduced costs and improved project outcomes and unlocking opportunities for checking the very models that express the design. This transformation is being powered by digital technology, which is revolutionising the way construction projects are planned, executed and managed. Understanding the digital transformation in construction Digital transformations generally take the form of two consecutive stages: the digitisation of information is followed by the digitalisation of processes. In construction, for example, the paper drawings containing design information were digitised and thus transformed into digital CAD files. A digitised CAD drawing allows for the digitalisation of workflows relating to the information a drawing contains, e.g. referencing to digital libraries of objects, design automation through scripting, or tracking of remarks and revisions entirely in digital form. Digital transformation is like a searchlight that lightens up one […]
