Technology will change the construction approach!
In Singapore, CORENET e-Submission system (eSS) is a G2B Government to Business (G2B) internet-based system that enables industry professionals to submit project related electronic plans and documents to regulatory authorities for approval (CORENET, 2016).
A recent post by a Swedish expert, Stefan Engeseth, mentioned that Google and Microsoft will pounce the traditional industry with:
Business intelligence for much open procurement process
Made easy data management approach for operation and maintenance
Cloud-based approach to replace interpersonal connections
Further to the above, the technology now is much affordable and 'easy to get' from shops or even via online purchase!
Therefore, there is an urge to look into computational approach for construction activities.
Dynamo/Grasshopper/Unity/Unreal Engine 4/flux and many others are available for free.
