Session 3 – High Performance Wood Construction
Digital Transformation of the Building Sector
The building sector has been globally identified one of the least digitalized industry sectors. Driving forces for digital transformation are both push activities from digital solution providers and pull activities from building industry. There is lot of potential to learn from other industry sectors by benchmarking best practices and adopt those in appropriate way.
Driving force for digital transformation is productivity improvement that can be divided in several subtopics. Digital solutions enable this transformation, but people should be in the focus when talking about digital transformation.
In this scope digital transformation is not sudden change to something new but it is rather continuous evolving process towards better working environment. Mindset in building industry should be changed from waiting to get digitalization ready to systematic thinking of future solutions enabled by digitalization.
