Off-site construction: where the BIM vision is becoming reality

The construction industry has been chasing the vision of "BIM" and "the digital twin" for years and years. Companies have been investing fortunes towards this vision, but results have often been disappointing. However, one segment within the construction industry is getting closer to realizing the BIM vision: the off-site industrialized construction industry. This presentation describes how the nature of this segment of the construction industry drives the emergence of practical BIM solutions: the need for precise specifications, industrialized manufacturing and seamless on-site assembly. This is the part of the construction industry where BIM is enabling breakthroughs in time to market, productivity and quality. The Amazon of the construction industry might very well emerge from this segment of the construction industry, thanks to the digital backbone they are putting in place now. Come and see examples cases where it is happening in practice today.
