ABSTRACT
The architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sector has been facing considerable challenges recently due to the increasing scale and complexity of projects. Mega projects are more difficult to manage in terms of decreasing cost and increasing quality and productivity. Innovative approaches have been proposed to overcome the various challenges faced by the AEC sector. Achieving integration, and thereby a more collaborative project environment, is essential in this process. Today’s key trend in successful business strategy is put as “combine and conquer”, which includes innovating business models together with transforming the core engineering systems around digital technology.
