“Implementing digital technology is not a choice ; it ’ s slowly becoming a necessity ”

disruption . One method in particular , centred around a component-based approach to prefabricated construction elements , allows construction operators to draw from a pre-designed kit of parts that helps increase standardisation across multiple projects . The concept of off-site prefabrication is by no means new to the industry , but advances in automation and digital manufacturing technologies are pushing the practice to the fore , in response to skilled labour shortages , rising populations and the growing need for urban residential and commercial development .
