To remain competitive, construction companies need to modernize their operations and processes. In response, the industry is rapidly adopting digital transformation to also meet changing client expectations and cut construction costs. These digital solutions range from Internet of Things-enabled sensors on equipment to 3D modeling software and cloud platforms that facilitate seamless connectivity between project teams.
Increasingly, automation, artificial intelligence (AI), robotic process automation (RPA), and digitalized tools such as computer-aided design (CAD) and building information modeling (BIM) have been integrated into the construction lifecycle. RPA leverages robots to carry out routine and respective tasks previously done by humans, while BIM allows construction professionals to use 3D modeling to create digital representations of a structure.
With digital technologies, construction management companies can update all stakeholders on project progress in real time. For example, cloud technology not only centralizes communication but allows construction teams to connect regardless of their geographical location. When all teams have access to plans and information on a timely basis, processes become streamlined, which can also enhance employee and client satisfaction.
Digital progress dashboards offer construction managers better oversight over projects. By tracking project equipment, schedules, and document workflows, managers can allocate resources more efficiently and also make faster decisions.
