Construction projects are becoming increasingly complex. Projects large and small often take 20 % longer than estimated and can be up to 80 % over budget.

Despite these challenges, builders have been reluctant to adopt new technologies to improve efficiency.

In fact, construction is one of the least digitised industries with productivity that has not grown over the past two decades.

Ditching spreadsheets, whiteboards and emails for new platforms and automation is the challenge.

Why are they changing their ways of working and how can they prepare for their own digital transformation? The industry is now at an inflection point. Increased urbanisation and commerce is increasing the demand for housing and offices. And there is pressure to build quickly, safely and under budget. Perhaps the question is to keep up, to be forced to digitise your process or risk being left behind: where should we start, will my team really use technology, what efforts are needed to maintain digital platforms, what opportunities and pitfalls will a new process reveal, and finally, how can I measure the return on investment in software, the keys to which will be found in this session.
