The Next Construction Revolution
The face of the construction industry is about to change. An industry that has until now shunned the technological revolution is about to be overwhelmed and transformed by it. Some technologies offer a step‐change in efficiency in individual businesses, shifting competitive advantage; others will change the relationships between clients, contractors and the supply chain. Building and asset management systems, Business Information Modelling (BIM), smart buildings (linked to smart grids and smart cities); user tracking systems; site‐based IT and laser imaging, to name but a few. Combine offsite with BIM, embedded from the client right through to the last component supplier, and most of the value in the industry will be earned away from the site. In this future, businesses will capture some of the efficiencies in BIM by buying up their supply chains and turning themselves into vertically integrated outcome providers.
