The digital transformation of the construction industry has been going on for a long time: sometimes false promises of increasing company efficiency, streamlining design processes, and establishing smooth project management have been heard for decades. The reality is that there is much more nuance behind the “digital glamour”. Technology may revolutionize the industry, but fundamentally, work processes will always revolve around people.

“As leaders in digital transformation, we have a responsibility to communicate the risks and benefits of innovations like AI. We must carefully manage the use of tools like ChatGPT, especially when it comes to protecting sensitive information. We need to find a balance between technology improving our work without compromising the ethics and information security of the company,” said Mairead Gallagher, Head of BIM at Grimshaw Architects in Europe and the Middle East.
