It’s not hard to imagine the potential of AI to transform design, engineering, construction and asset management. AI could be the catalyst for a new era of efficiency and innovation in construction, overcoming the productivity stagnation that has plagued the sector for years.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is being adopted worldwide for building design and construction. But once the building is ready for occupation, what’s the worth of the BIM model? In our view, when the doors of a building open, the full potential of the BIM model can also be unlocked.
In an industry-leading innovation, we have developed a proof of concept for a digital twin of a commercial building as part of the CSIRO’s Data61 Terria Digital Twin Early Adopter Program.
There’s been plenty of hype across many sectors about digital twins, but parts of the construction industry have been somewhat slow on the uptake. This is set to change over the next decade as everything that can be digitised transforms into usable data.
Digital transformation is complex and demands a real commitment to change. For the construction sector, going digital can lead to more value and less risk. So what’s holding parts of the industry back from full adoption?
