Digitizing the AEC Industry
At 11 AM GST/10 AM AST, on Wednesday 10th July, Marcus Evans Webinars will partner with Software Leaders, Autodesk in discussing the Digitization of the AEC Industry.
There is no alternative to digitization, even on the building site. As one of the slowest industries (second only to agriculture) to adopt new technologies, construction needs to catch up. Project success relies heavily on decisions made at the initial phases of planning, design and during preconstruction.
Using technologies that already exist today, you can connect information from design to the planning phase and then to onsite execution. This reduces information loss at hand-offs and improve the predictability of project outcomes. Such connected workflows are not utopia and are being implemented by your competitors and peers with success, helping them to plan and deliver complex building projects and fulfil the expectations of even the most demanding clients.
Webinar Agenda Includes:
- Validate project constructability
- Improve cost reliability
- Better manage change and improve communication
- Gain a competitive edge to win new work and drive repeat business
