Mark Green, founder and CEO of Change Rebellion, discusses why the biggest barrier to successful digital transformation in the built environment often isn't the technology, but the people expected to use it.
FARO® INSIGHT, a business of AMETEK®, Inc. is the world’s most trusted source for 3D measurement technology, it develops and markets computer-aided measurement and imaging devices and software.
Cyber risk is now the number one concern for business leaders worldwide, meaning cyber resilience deserves the same discipline and focus as physical safety in the construction industry, writes Alessandro Lezzi, head of cyber risks at Beazley.
The Monklands project shows that true digital transformation is about much more than models and data platforms, writes Kathleen Baird, associate director at WSP.
New research from the Royal Town Planning Institute examines the opportunities and risks of digital planning to help relieve some of these demands on the system.
Technological modernisation in the construction and engineering industry, conjures up images of humanoid robots wheeling barrows and laying bricks, and workers walking round sites using future-like smart glasses to improve safety. But while not quite as sexy, the truth is that what the industry urgently needs are AI agents to alleviate the back-office pressures of keeping major projects on time and on budget, as Kenny Ingram, VP of C&E and Chris Knight, global industry director, C&E, IFS, explain.
Advances in digital design, data-driven engineering and AI are helping the construction industry move beyond demolition-first thinking, writes Stephen Fernandez, global retrofit leader at Arup.
Across construction boardrooms and project hubs throughout the UK, a long-simmering conversation is gaining urgency. After years of growing pressure, one question is becoming unavoidable: who actually controls the data that underpins and runs our projects?
Deltek’s project-based ERP platform combined with Cognizant’s transformation expertise will enable faster, lower-risk cloud migrations, support complex multi-country deployments, and set the foundations to help scale AI adoptions.
The pace of AI-driven growth means the data centre sector cannot afford fragmented approaches to sustainability, writes James Fisher, head of strategic partnerships at the BRE.
Andrew Brennan, senior product manager at Trimble, discusses why simplified, unified systems are key to embracing digital connectivity in construction.
As adoption of AI in construction continues to accelerate, the uptake varies greatly. Some organisations are experimenting with advanced use cases like predictive maintenance and contract analysis, while others are still grappling with where it fits into their operations. But as time goes on, chief technology officer at Pagabo Group Dave Stott warns the industry risks missing the point if it continues to treat AI as a standalone capability, rather than a structural part of how modern construction businesses operate.
Amid growing complexity, the building review process hasn’t changed. AI can catch what human reviewers miss - but only if it understands how buildings actually go together, writes Ron Zaum of Structured AI.
If you work across the built environment and want to stay up to speed with the technology, ideas and challenges shaping the industry, now’s the time to register for your free ticket to Digital Construction Week (DCW).
