The Construction Institute is dedicated to supporting our members' journey in digital transformation. Keeping pace with technological developments in the construction industry and their implications is no small task. Artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, smart contracts, robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), manufactured construction, smart materials and other technologies are no longer just on the horizon; they are already in use by industry innovators. What technologies might become standard practice? What will be the timeline for their adoption? How should our members position themselves to take advantage of the opportunities and avoid the risks?
