BIM for export

摘要

Make no mistake, digital construction is coming. You only have to look at other sectors, from finance to music, from tourism to book publishing, to understand the truth of this and to see how major industries can, and do, change. These, and many other sectors, have been transformed over the last decade by advances in digital technology. To date, construction has been immune to the digital disruption seen in other sectors. However, the combined drivers of building information modelling (BIM), global information standards, 3D printing as well as off-site construction and assembly will challenge the inertia. Adaptability will be critical to ensure survival through this change, and managing knowledge and information, combined with exceptional service delivery, will be the key to future competitive advantage. Adopt and adapt.
