Statement: Digital innovation is crucial for the construction industry as it enhances efficiency, reduces costs, and improves project outcomes through real-time data, automation, and advanced visualisation. Technologies like 3D modeling, AI, and digital twins enable better planning, risk management, and sustainability by simulating real-world conditions before construction begins. These innovations also improve collaboration among stakeholders, ensuring smarter decision-making and faster project delivery.
