Overcoming Challenges & Embracing Opportunities in the Digital Age

Presentation Synopsis:

In the evolving landscape of the digital age, the construction sector in Asia faces several challenges and opportunities. The challenges include bad data costing the construction business globally 1.8 trillion USD and skills shortages and persistent cost pressures.

While the opportunities include the coming wave of automation and the Asia market being a prime centre of growth construction and infrastructure projects. How can we harness this potential for growth and innovation? Can we mitigate and learn from the challenges? How do we utilise the digital advancements in Building Information Modelling (BIM), advanced connectivity, artificial Intelligence/machine learning, and cloud computing?

We’ll explore the current state of digital technologies that are changing the sector, look at opportunities to improve ways of working, and discuss future proof strategies to leverage technology.
