This is the third article in the series of six by Paul McCormack, detailing the advantages of digitalisation for the built environment and why companies must engage in the process to secure sustainable growth and success.
This final piece in Part 1 of the series, “The Tools”, builds on the previous digitalisation and BIM articles * . Digital Transformations will detail the pathway that companies must define, detail and develop for their own particular needs.
