BSI Construction and Built Environment’s Post

The Built Environment industry has traditionally been slow to adopt new technologies, but this trend is rapidly changing. Integrating digital tools and innovation, such as augmented reality (AR), drones, 3D scanning and printing, Building Information Modelling (BIM), autonomous equipment, and advanced building materials, is revolutionising the sector. While technological advancements are crucial, the construction industry must also undergo a cultural transformation. The narrative must shift from mere targets to being purpose-driven, ensuring regenerative behaviour. The built environment sector’s purpose is to solve societal and environmental problems profitably rather than profit from their creation. The sector can build a sustainable and prosperous future for all through collaboration, innovation, and a focus on societal and environmental responsibility. However, in order to do this, the industry must evolve to meet the demands of a rapidly changing society.
