Discounting size & complexity, you’d assume building something would be a simple process. You start with a design, devise a plan, select & assemble the resources required, build the asset, get paid, and go home. However, in the real world, nothing is straightforward.
What holds construction projects back?
Construction projects are usually postponed for an array of reasons. Supply chain issues, design mistakes, communication issues, unpredictable risks, and build failures are just some of the roadblocks faced in construction projects. These issues are aggravated by the industry’s continuous dependence on paper or other outmoded means to supervise design, operational procedures, communications, supply chains, and deliverables.
How can digital help?
Digital construction management, through BIM (Building Information Modeling) and a connected data environment, allows both broad & complete views of all stages of a project, helping lessen or avoid problems that can stall a project.
A crucial benefit of a comprehensive digital construction process is its capability to be both predictive & reactive. In contrary with earlier digital forms, digital twinning via BIMs goes beyond simply accelerating analog processes to driving improvements in core project management practices, thus decreasing project delays.
Towards a completely digital future:
While organizations increasingly comprehend the ability of digital construction management to help meet project schedules & goals, they’re often hesitant to commit to organization-wide implementation and adhere to outmoded processes and software programs that often don’t work well with other stakeholders. The lack of a solitary source, connected data environment contributes to project slipups that can upshot in costly delays, decreased output, and even project let-downs.
Effective digital construction implementation includes:
- Ongoing added value – the value delivered must always surpass the investment from project to project.
- Decreased complexity – organizations should only see improvements in their everyday work schedules without being aware of the technology that drives the transformation.
- Operational efficacy – the digitization of any process must increase efficacies without adversely impacting other areas of the operation.
For the first time, digital construction management provides a truly functional, single source of real-time info that can be accessed by all stakeholders in a project. These connected data environment will drive new partnerships & collaboration, boost construction workflows, curtail project life cycles, and lead to better results.
