Abstract

If UK construction is to meet the challenges of a digital future and respond to the requirements of a new building safety regulatory system, it needs manufacturers to structure and share their data safely and sustainably. 
An ever broadening and more complex digital landscape, together with a plethora of solutions providers and a growing regulatory framework, is pushing the sector to act. However, it must do so intelligently, and with an understanding of both the risks and benefits of a future that’s constantly evolving.
At UK Construction Week in 2021 we asked members of the editorial board as well as other experts why manufacturers should take a note of increasing digital management structure in the industry. Watch the interview to learn more and download the guide for free at theiet.org/product-manufacturers
