Construction Administration has evolved from paper drawings, phone calls and fax machines to BIM, cloud-based project management, real-time data and now artificial intelligence.
In this episode of What the RFI?, I explore where Construction Administration has been, how technology has changed the way architects, consultants and contractors manage projects, and where the AEC industry may be heading next.
This episode features a presentation originally delivered at an A4LE BC event exploring the past, present and future of Construction Administration.
We look at how technology has transformed CA — from AutoCAD, Revit and BIM to cloud-based construction management platforms, mobile technology, project data and AI.
Topics covered include:
• The evolution of Construction Administration
• How architects managed CA before digital technology
• The transition from paper to digital project documentation
• AutoCAD, Revit and the evolution of BIM
• Cloud-based Construction Administration
• Construction project management platforms
• How mobile technology changed construction
• Why project data matters
• Using data to improve construction decision-making
• AI in architecture and construction
• Artificial intelligence in Construction Administration
• Automation and more efficient CA workflows
• Emerging construction technology
• Sustainable design and changing project requirements
• Improving collaboration between architects, consultants and contractors
• Where Construction Administration may be heading next
Technology will continue to change the tools we use, but the fundamentals of Construction Administration remain remarkably consistent: communicate clearly, document decisions, coordinate the work and keep the project moving.
The question isn't whether technology will change Construction Administration.
It's how we use that technology to become better at it.
Whether you're an architect, architectural technologist, engineer, consultant, contractor, project coordinator or Construction Administrator, this presentation looks at how technology could reshape the way we deliver projects.
