The construction sector plays a crucial role in the economy of the European Union (EU), contributing 18 million jobs and accounting for almost 9% of GDP. In addition to its economic weight, the sector has significant social, environmental and climate impacts, influencing the quality of life of EU citizens, CO2 emissions and waste.
Nevertheless, it faces challenges including labor shortages, competitiveness, resource efficiency and productivity, with productivity growth in the sector being significantly lower than that of industry over the last two decades.
It is in this context that digitalization is perceived as a crucial tool for tackling these challenges, even though the construction sector is one of the least digitalized in the economy. With the exception of Building Information Modelling (BIM), few digital technologies have been widely adopted, despite the recognition that digitalization goes beyond the exclusive use of BIM, involving data acquisition, process automation and other technologies related to digital information and analysis.
Data from the analytical report on digitalization in the construction sector in the European Union (EU), part of the European Construction Sector Observatory (ECSO) project, highlights different levels of maturity and adoption of digital technologies in construction, including sensors, IoT, automation with robots, 3D scanning and printing, drones and digital data analysis.
