Disruption Meets Construction -Smart Construct Conference

#SmartConstruct

CNI Editor reports

The Construction sector is one of the least digitised sectors in Ireland. SMART Construct is shaking up the industry by bringing a wealth of experts to the Armagh City Hotel on the 23rd November.

Local developers Gary McCausland and Michael Taggart are taking to the stage with Michael McLornan from CPD NI to discuss the changing landscape.

Michael McLornan, Central Procurement Directorate NI noted “The requirement for Government’s larger infrastructure projects to be delivered to BIM Level 2 since 2016 has set the construction industry a challenge. Many local suppliers are rising to that challenge and beginning to realise the benefits that digitisation can bring to the design, delivery and maintenance of our infrastructure projects.”

This business to business event will give the delegates an insight on how to digitally transform their business. The event will be exploring a vast range of relevant topics, including BIM, VR, Drones, GDPR, Industry 4.0, Minecraft and Education. The speakers will unravel global best practice and real-life examples of how businesses are using innovation to drive their business forward.

Naomh McElhatton, founder of Smart NI said, “With the evolution of Industry 4.0, its vitally important that construction and manufacturing based businesses understand the trends of automation and data. By embracing technology, can only increase efficiency and performance, therefore reducing waste, improving time management and increasing profits.

SMART Construct is a one-day event taking place at the Armagh City Hotel on 23rd November.  For more information go to www.smartni.online/construct
