Construction 4.0

Construction 4.0 represents the digital evolution of the construction sector, making it more competitive in the global market through automation, robotics, and advanced digital tools. This digital shift enhances project predictability, improves working conditions, and attracts young talent to the sector. However, the industry’s inherent fragmentation, with many roles and players involved, makes digitalisation more complex than in other sectors.

EBC advocates for a gradual digital transformation that includes and benefits construction SMEs, enabling them to overcome investment limitations and limited digital expertise. By fostering a collaborative digital ecosystem, EBC promotes an inclusive approach to Construction 4.0.
