Thank you for Subscribing to Construction Business Review Weekly Brief
The global construction industry is poised for a surge in digital connectivity. Digital disruption trends and innovations in the engineering and construction (E&C) industry are rapidly gaining traction, and firms should be exploring the benefits and competitive advantage that digital technologies can provide.
Many construction-technology start-ups have focused on tools that promote digital collaboration—the online exchange of information—throughout all E&C project phases. E&C stakeholders—including architects, engineers, and foremen—are more widely dispersed than most other industries. Purpose-built digital collaboration tools are helping them streamline workflow to shrink timelines or costs.
Back-office integration, involving functions such as accounting, finance, and human resources, are also getting a tech-lift. Many back-office use cases focus on scheduling, managing equipment, and enterprise resource planning.
Driven by these solutions, the construction industry is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years, reaching $15 trillion in revenue by 2025.
Construction Business Review also shines a light on many other key developments in the industry, demonstrating how E&C firms are reshaping the future of construction. Ali Hussain Sajwani, Managing Director at DAMAC Properties, provides thought-provoking insights in this edition. Ali talks about creating a technology roadmap to enable and accelerate positive business growth, as he is a firm believer in the power of technology in the construction industry.
In this edition of Construction Business Review, we also bring to you story of top construction solutions providers in the Middle East. In the list, Zuhair Fayez Partnership stands out for creating a name for itself as a pioneer in the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology throughout the design process, sustainability study, and construction managements through 4D and 5D simulation. The edition also highlights 3d-develop.design.deliver for their constructive expertise in providing exceptional program and project management consultancy services; ASALI Architects, which is gaining recognition as a cutting-edge architecture and design firm; and an industry-leading consulting firm Consultant Engineer Bureau that provides full-service integrated engineering solutions.
