#328 Automating Construction - Digital Transformation of the Building Site

BuiltSmart Hub's podcast discusses the profound transformation
taking place in the construction industry, focusing on the shift
from traditional, manual processes to digitally-driven, automated
and data-intensive construction sites. It highlights how digital
technologies such as BIM, IoT and AI are revolutionising project
management, increasing efficiency and improving safety. The
articles emphasise the importance of automation for productivity
and precision and argue for the systematic integration of
automated processes from prefabrication to execution on the
construction site. In addition, the source emphasises the
introduction of new construction processes, including lean
construction and modular construction, as well as a focus on
data-driven decision making. Finally, it addresses the changing
role of the human workforce in this technologically advanced
environment, emphasising the need for new skills and
collaborative efforts between people and machines to overcome the
inherent challenges and promote a sustainable, resilient and
innovative future for the construction sector.
