You can find more info here: https://www.frenus.com/usecases/win-the-construction-industry This edition offers a comprehensive overview of the technological and operational evolution within the 2026 global construction and engineering sectors. Central to these reports is the strategic shift from artificial intelligence hype to practical implementation, emphasizing that AI only generates value when built upon a foundation of structured, connected data and clear human governance. Contributors highlight a critical gap in office-ready digital skills and the necessity of moving beyond fragmented software silos toward integrated platform ecosystems that support the entire building lifecycle. Beyond technology, the texts address urgent industry challenges such as the skilled labour shortage, the mental health of workers, and the legal complexities of digital transformation. Strategic insights also underscore the importance of carbon-aware building practices and the emerging regulatory requirements for digital asset documentation within Europe. Ultimately, the collective perspective suggests that the future of the built environment depends more on cultural mindset and process refinement than on the mere adoption of new tools.
