large portion of the construction industry is still operating on software that has been in use since the 1990s and early 2000s—software that locks information on somebody's desktop, in somebody's personal file structure or maybe inside a company, which makes it difficult to share or access remotely.

Most contractors work with building models to aid the design and installation of construction projects. As the systems being installed become more complex, so too do the tools to model them. One of the newest software solutions is the digital twin, which offers a way to track the construction and maintenance of a system that can grow with the building, and can be shared by multiple parties.

COVID-19 has forced many contractors to adopt construction technology faster than they might have under normal circumstances. Technology that enables remote collaboration, agility, machine automation, and better decision making has helped contractors survive 2020.

The construction industry is in the midst of a digital data revolution as a growing number of contractors migrate to the cloud, leaving paper reports, cumbersome spreadsheets and outdated software behind.

How trends in digitalization of AEC have helped the industry adjust to the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and also become better prepared to meet the pressing demands for infrastructure growth in future.
