Within the broader trend of digital transformation, \"digital construction\" – which represents the effective integration of digital technology and the construction industry – will inevitably become the core driver for the transformation and upgrading of this industry. Digital construction refers to an industry business strategy driven by digital technologies, which makes use of information technologies such as BIM, cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things, mobile internet, and artificial intelligence, in combination with advanced theoretical methods for lean construction project management. It integrates people, processes, data, technology, and business systems to manage the entire lifecycle of buildings, from planning and design to construction and operation and maintenance. It enables the digitalization, online transformation, and intelligent management of every aspect, element, and stakeholder throughout this process, thereby facilitating the creation of a brand-new ecosystem for projects, enterprises, and industries. Those who haven’t yet mastered BIM technology should put aside what they’re doing and seize this opportunity right away!
