Industry Transformation

As other industries quickly adjust to technological advances, we need to be too. By making a deliberate effort in pushing forward, our industry can drive advancements in innovation and increase worksite efficiencies. In fact, a dedication to innovation will grow our transformation by way of digital technologies, advanced materials, and new process tools. 

INNOVATIVE CHANGES

Intensifying focus on technology advancement, our community will continue to transform the industry through social change. Being a seeker of new technologies and adaptable all the way through will improve productivity, reduce project delays, elevate safety, and even enhance the quality of our delivered product.

Other industries have seen significant changes over the past few years. The pace of innovation has remarkably improved communication and productivity in industries like health sciences, education, and consumer goods. These industries and others have taken advantage of digitization, robotics, and more to drive process innovations that are measurably more productive and cost-effective, and consistently more environmentally friendly and sustainable.

In contrast, the construction industry has been hesitant about fully embracing technological opportunities, and its productivity and reputation lags in comparison. But, this gives us a big opportunity! The latest technology advances, building method adjustments, as well as BIM and social procurement, should all be leading the conversation.

Progression is our purpose.

We are here to help you find the most recent reports, brochures, case studies and business cases to help you learn more about the topics facing our industry. Check out our most recent resources gathered by the Building Good team.

SOLUTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS

  • Building Good will explore our effects on wider society. How can we reduce construction costs for the customer?
  • We see Building Information Modelling (BIM) as playing an essential role for our industry, as it is an umbrella facilitator for many other technologies, including robotics, 3D printing and 3D modelling.
  • This isn’t new: construction’s weakness is its communication. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a relatively new methodology that acknowledges our lack of connection between project stakeholders. This includes the owner, designer, builder, engineer, and major subcontractors. IPD means a bit more time and effort upfront. The purely collaborative approach sees key individuals from different companies with unique expertise come together to create one clear vision.

 

 

Focusing on technology advancement, social procurement, and innovation- we believe our community will continue to transform the industry and lead change.
