From Construction Business Owner: Commercial construction has traditionally been challenged by seemingly intractable issues in regard to cost, schedule, quality and safety. If you’ve ever posited that having construction projects run into roadblocks, blow past deadlines, squander resources and come in over budget is just “the cost of doing business,” consider a new way to address these age-old problems.
Comprehensive digital integration, made possible by the increasing adoption of 3D technologies like building information modeling (BIM) and virtual design and construction (VDC), has led to ever-increasing opportunities for collaborative teams to approach architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) projects in novel, efficient ways.
Implementing a collaborative process, according to a 2018 Dodge Data & Analytics report, can result in benefits to cost, schedule, quality and safety, including increased productivity, reduced waste, and improved delivery performance.
By prioritizing in the early phases of the project and practicing ongoing engagement with those in your connected supply chain, collaborative integration ensures that vendors and suppliers associated with downstream projects all have a seat at the same table.
