The convergence of digital technology, industrialization and automation of construction is driving a new era of project delivery.
PPI’s Ninth Annual Symposium brought together industry experts, academics and thought leaders to establish this unifying framework and maximize value by working on an integrated solution for this new Era of project delivery. In addition, attendees learned how to effectively implement and benefit from the digitalization and industrialization of construction.
Technical Achievement Award
