Digital construction integrates advanced technologies like Building Information Modelling (BIM), Virtual Reality (VR), and drones to revolutionise the construction industry. Through BIM, digital twins of buildings are created, enabling precise planning, coordination, and visualisation. VR enhances design reviews and stakeholder communication. Drones facilitate site surveys and progress monitoring. These technologies streamline processes, reduce errors, enhance collaboration, and improve efficiency throughout the construction lifecycle, from planning to maintenance. Digital construction represents a paradigm shift, driving innovation and reshaping traditional practices in the built environment.
