As the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sector accelerates into a digitally connected future, a pivotal question is emerging: How do we ensure technology delivers meaningful impact for people and place? That's a question posed in the latest edition of BIM Today, which explores the complex integration of Building Information Modelling and smart building technologies, Digital Catapult’s BridgeAI, which is supporting startups in bringing AI-powered innovation to construction, and the BRE’s work on the Innovate UK BuildAudIt project.
