Frequently Asked Questions

Digital transformation isn’t a single piece of technology or a change that happens overnight. The architecture, engineering, and construction industry has been undergoing a sea change for years. Key elements of digital transformation include:

  • Moving to digital processes to enhance skillsets and improve productivity 

  • Embracing cloud-enabled collaboration and data management for real-time access to data and better insights 

  • Automation and scaling of processes. Adopting a digital-first mindset to transform business practices 

  • Unlocking data and design circularity with a digital twin to reuse and refine digital and physical assets

AEC firms with a digital-first mindset use BIM-based software together with technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), extended reality (XR), predictive analytics, and simulation to realize benefits that include reduced risk, business resilience, and improved sustainability. 

The convergence of BIM and multidisciplinary technologies is at the heart of successful AEC projects worldwide. And already the industry is moving into the next phase of digital transformation, one powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. In this phase, AEC firms will use data and insights to connect processes, automate workflows, and provide a better understanding of the built environment.

BIM is the foundation of digital transformation in the AEC industry. The BIM process connects teams, workflows, and data across the entire project lifecycle—from design and engineering to construction and operations—to realize better ways of working and better outcomes.
