Digital transformation in the contracting industry
Digital transformation organises project information across design, supply, construction and operation. Start with a defined problem, responsibilities and data standards rather than disconnected tool purchases.
Digital transformation connects design, procurement, construction and information management. Assess tools through project measures, data quality, interoperability and team training rather than presenting old forecasts as current facts or guaranteed savings.
Define approval workflows, versions, permissions and interoperability. Assess processing time, record quality and rework within the project rather than relying on market percentages or outdated forecasts.
