Building Information Modelling in Digitalisation of the Construction Industry
By Ajith Menon , Managing Director BIMAGE Consulting
Building Information Modelling explained
The digital economy is a highly competitive form of economic organisation and contributes to the growth of globalisation due to the use of information and communication technologies that have a cross-border nature . This facilitates quick response and adaptation to changing environmental conditions , including risk-forming factors . By 2025 , 75 % of businesses will leverage digital platforms and ecosystems but globally , construction has lagged other sectors in leveraging digital technologies .
Embedding construction in the ecosystem of the digital economy is impossible without the digitalisation of the industry , which should follow the path of accelerated implementation of IT technologies in the design and construction process , as well as the creation of a unified information environment for construction , uniting all existing information systems , optimising their activities regarding the collection and analysis of information in the field of construction , process automation .
