Owners and contractors are rapidly moving to digitalize and industrialize construction. COVID-19 is now accelerating the use of these emerging technologies.
However, the construction industry’s deep roots in craft-based production (vs. high-volume manufacturing) limit the ability for companies to fully benefit from these efforts.
PPI’s Seventh Annual Symposium brought together industry experts, academics and thought leaders to discuss how to effectively implement and benefit from the digitalization and industrialization of construction.
