Please find attached Standards Australia Strategic Initiative - Digital Engineering Shifting Paradigm in the Construction Sector .
New concepts like smart cities and digital twins have evolved, as part of the fourth industrial revolution. With the engineering and construction sector facing an unprecedented demand for its services, the demand for new capabilities and digital improvements has grown significantly.
The engineering and construction sector lags behind in its use of data and digitisation to support collaboration, efficiencies and documentation. There are enormous opportunities for improvements during the design, construction, operation and maintenance phases, and these will require industry-wide applications of new ways of working and managing projects. Agreement on common standards will be a powerful enabler of change to support the introduction of digital engineering.
