Discover the digital trends shaping construction and what they mean for manufacturers. Our 12th Digital Construction Report explores how construction professionals are using BIM, AI and other digital tools, giving manufacturers valuable insight into the changing ways products are researched, specified and used across projects.
Digital Construction Report 2023
Is the construction industry reaching a turning point?
Digital ways of working continue to change how construction projects are designed, delivered and managed. For manufacturers, understanding these changes is increasingly important when deciding how to present product information, support specification and engage with construction professionals.
The Digital Construction Report 2023 explores technology adoption across the industry, including BIM, artificial intelligence, sustainability, off-site construction and digital collaboration.
Discover how construction professionals are adopting new tools, the challenges they face and the ways technology is helping them respond to changing industry requirements.
Who took part
Between July and September this year, we surveyed 723 design and construction professionals about their use of, and views on, digital ways of working. For each completed response, we donated £1 to the construction charity CRASH, and are pleased to support their important work to help vulnerable and homeless people. The survey was supported by a range of membership bodies and institutes, which helps us to represent different parts of the industry. We are grateful to them, and to the people who took the time to share their views.
All sizes of organisations are represented – from micro practices with one or two people up to large multinationals, with over 1000.
There are many individual disciplines – representing the wide range of experts involved in construction projects – including architects, BIM specialists, architectural technologists, engineers, project managers, product and marketing specialists, and many others.
All ages and experience levels are represented – from those at the beginning of their careers, up to those approaching retirement.
Almost three quarters are based in the UK, leaving almost 30% based in other countries around the world. 60 countries are represented, across six continents.
