MODEL BEHAVIOUR

Extensive use of software across stages of a project can be invaluable for the present and in the long term

- Molly R

For long, technology providers in the country have often been compelling the government or any other authorities involved in building and infra-structure projects to take recourse to technology. While, of course, critical projects saw extensive use of technology, the lesser critical ones very often did not. Then, a few years or decades later, when the authorities want to figure out the underlying pipelines or wiring network below those now-old projects, it was difficult to do so. Such situations become eye-openers.

In this light, today, construction sites have vastly gone digital and processes are automated, from planning and execution to building management. The focus here is not on isolated solutions but on a holistic network of integrated systems and applications that interact and effectively “communicate” with each other (Internet of Things).
