Nadine Post, editor at large at ENR, recently wrote an interesting opinion piece asking where the revolution in the construction industry is and then goes on to explain that all the technology changes that are taking place, including BIM, modularity and the like, are making projects much more complex to design and build.
Her point is that you can push and pull all you want, but it still takes time to build a project and that building projects are not manufacturing production lines.
She makes some very good points, and it is a thought-provoking read.
