The so-called “brick-and-mortar” construction industry is moving forward and entering the digital era. Although the transition was slow initially, it has now accelerated in speed. The big market players are redefining their processes to keep pace with the new wave of digital business.
The following three Ps play a crucial role to chart a path for digitalization of construction industry:
- Prepare for it
The construction industry has lagged in the race of digitalization mainly because of the psychology of people working in the industry – human processes were deemed better than the machines. However, as the industry has evolved, so has its outlook on digitalization. It is important for those driving the construction industry to identify the areas ripe for digitalization and prepare themselves for the change.
- Pilot it
For successful digitalization of construction industry, the key is to start small. Ideally, enterprises should pilot it among a small portion of their business or a single project and give time for their team members to understand the technology and get used to the change. Long-lasting, sustainable changes happen gradually, so go slow.
- Process it
To create and amplify impact across the entire enterprise, there is a need to process it. Businesses should capture changes, comprehend how the results were achieved and repeat the same process. Additionally, enterprises should review existing processes to identify more areas for digital transformation to maximize their benefits and revenue.
Take away
