1: Behind the hype: Flexible workspaces

Digital transformation is the big challenge facing the construction industry – for too long it has been held back by traditional ways of operating and yet now it seems the circumstances have never been better for the mass take-up of new technologies. So, who are the people driving this revolutionary change? "There’s a misconception that BIM and digital are a nice to have or a surplus cost." "Most innovation is driven by economics … it’s about which technologies are accessible at an economic price point that makes them attractive to be implementable in the construction sector." "I have seen a robot that climbs and constructed lift shafts autonomously. It’s terrifying and brilliant at the same time."
