2020 TO BE TIPPING
POINT FOR DIGITISATION
IN UK CONSTRUCTION
A new in-depth research led report reveals the
construction industry is stepping up to its digital
transformation opportunity.
A survey of 200 UK decision makers in construction, as part
of a new industry report, reveals 2020 to be a pivotal year for
the uptake of digital solutions to address areas such as friction
within supply chains, risk management and increasing sta
productivity.
The findings show that despite 54 per cent admitting the
industry has been slow to adopt digital technologies, there are
green shoots of optimism with businesses operating across
the lifecycle of the built environment realising the benefits of
investment in new technology and seeing a positive impact on:
Commercial performance – with 43 per cent increasing their
business win rates, 56 per cent reducing operating costs,
and 54 per cent improving their workforce productivity.
Project and operational control – 70 per cent have witnessed
better and faster flows of information and data.
Supply chain performance – 48 per cent have built stronger
relations with their supply chain.
Talent management – 58 per cent have been successful at
attracting and retaining new digital talent.
Client relationships – 52 per cent have experienced
increased client satisfaction.
According to the research, this momentum looks set
to continue with 81 per cent of respondents across the
construction sector stating that in the next 12 months they will
be taking greater leaps to improve their business digitally.
Challenges do remain however with respondents pointing
to a number of key drivers that need to be addressed if the
industry is to take full advantage of the opportunities of
digital technology. The key themes that emerged through the
research were standardising technology across the supply
chain, developing a new and diverse digitally driven workforce
and improving profitability to enable increased investment in
new technology. To empower decision making at the front line,
there is a clear need for intuitive, easy to use and deploy, web
enabled, mobile tech where data is readily shared and available.
The new report ‘Construction’s Digital Frontline; How an
industry is stepping up to its transformation opportunity’ has
been commissioned by the UK construction so ware company,
Causeway. As part of the report, interviews were conducted
with industry leaders such as Birmingham City University,
Atkins, and Ei age Kier joint venture.
The report aims to shine a light on the emerging reality of the
adoption of new innovations across the industry.
