The final tenth part is a comprehensive look at the future of the construction industry in the era of digital transformation. It analyzes the shift from causal analysis to working with big data correlations. Parallels are drawn between the evolution of fine art and the development of data work in construction, demonstrating how the industry is moving from detailed control to a holistic understanding of processes. The concept of the "uberization " of the con-struction industry is examined, where data transparency and calculation au-tomation can radically change traditional business models, eliminating the need for intermediaries and reducing opportunities for speculation. Unre-solved issues, such as the universal classification of elements, are discussed in detail, giving construction companies time to adapt to the new environ-ment. The part concludes with specific recommendations for shaping a digi-tal transformation strategy that includes analyzing vulnerabilities and ex-panding services to remain competitive in a changing industry.
161 Correlations instead of calculations the future of construction analytics
Due to the rapid digitalization of information (Fig. 1.1-5), modern construction is undergoing a fundamental transformation where data is becoming not just a tool but a strategic asset that can fundamentally change traditional approaches to...
162 Data-driven approach in construction a new level of infrastructure
In the history of mankind, each such technological leap has brought fundamental changes to the economy and society. Today, we are witnessing a new wave of transformation comparable in scale to the industrial revolution of...
163 The next-generation digital office how AI is changing the workspace
Almost a century ago, mankind was already experiencing a similar technological revolution. The transition from steam engines to electric motors took more than four decades, but ultimately catalyzed an unprecedented increase in productivity – primarily...
164 Open data and Uberization is a threat to the existing construction business
Construction is becoming an information management process. The more accurate, quality and complete the data, the more efficient the design, calculations, cost estimates, erection and operation of buildings. In the future, the key resource will...
165 Unresolved problems of uberization as last chance to use time for transformation
But let’s return to the realities of the construction industry. While self-driving cars, decentralized financial systems and artificial intelligence-based solutions are emerging in some sectors of the economy, a significant part of construction companies still...
166 From Theory to Practice A Roadmap for Digital Transformation in Construction
The construction industry is gradually entering a new phase of development, where familiar processes are increasingly being supplemented – and sometimes even replaced – by digital platforms and transparent interaction models. This presents companies not...
167 Laying the Digital Foundation 1-5 Steps to Digital Maturity
In this chapter, we look at the digital transformation roadmap and identify the key steps required to implement a data-driven approach that can help transform both the corporate culture and the company’s information ecosystem. Fig....
168 Unlocking the potential of data 5-10 steps to digital maturity
