Over the last 40 years, technology and innovation have impacted nearly every industry from finance to travel to retail. Amazon delivers our orders in hours, we can book a vacation in minutes, and soon we’ll take driverless uber rides to work, -yet the way design and construction services are delivered has remained largely unchanged. The current process is slow, risky, lacks coordination, and budgets are often blown as result. In fact, in 2015, Mckinsey listed the construction industry as the second to last industry to benefit from digitization ( just ahead of hunting). There must be a better way – and there is. Come join our panel discussion as we discuss new innovations in design and delivery that will revolutionize the way we think about delivering workplaces.
