It is obvious the AEC industry must disrupt- as mentioned in the a recent blog “Disrupting the AEC Industry” in this disruptive, digital global economy. The AEC industry will find its environment of operation will have to change quickly to survive. No one can predict the future of the industry but the industry can decide for itself to disrupt itself or be blindsighted by some other industry that will disrupt it. In order for the Business of Architecture to be in step with their clients they will have to transform the AEC Industry infrastructure & its ecosystem through a disruption of their practise
Very few business leaders nor education instructions and associations related to the AEC Industry have seen the writing on the wall but for the majority life goes on as they are caught up in the cycle of boom and bust, feast or famine not realizing this digital globalized economy will disrupt the all traditional industry.

In Project Management Scope; Time; Cost are the three main constraint of a project delivery, Wherein each constraint forms the vertices, with quality as the central theme. This implies projects must be delivered within cost;, on time and meet the agreed scope no more or less. Each of these constraint has a direct impact on the other.
The traditional stick and build method to implement design and engineering solution used in our cities and towns are inheritably inefficient and consistently producing varying quality of work. The future lies: in design; engineering of building designed to evolve & built to last.
The key here is to design Build like Lego- build blocks from kit of parts which can be used in any required combination and can be conveniently assembled providing flexibility in manufacture; assembly; disassembly; relocation and reissue or recycle in its entirety.
We live in a world of digital Darwinism where through Disruptive Selection it is reported that, 70% of the companies on the Fortune 1000 list 10 years ago have vanished and in an environment where no business is too big to fail or too small to succeed, where technology and society are growing at a faster pace than organisation and corporation can catch. The AEC is an industry waiting to disrupt and requires re-tooling and needs long-term structural change through the participation of stakeholders across the industry.
The AEC industry needs to transform its traditional model of delivery to design, build and maintain facilities– workplaces – the crucible that assist our clients to complete the digital transformation in “flexible, fast and functional facilities that mutate and evolve to adapt the constantly changing business environment to bring to market new services or new products keep pace with a rapidly changing disruptive business environment.

It is obvious the AEC industry must disrupt as in this disruptive, digital global economy, the AEC industry will find its environment of operation will have to change quickly to survive. It will have to change the game internally to accelerating speed-of-execution and become agile to seize new opportunities while disrupting to gain critical competitive advantage. In short it will have to Out-Execute and Out-Innovate
The AEC industry will be disrupted very shortly as the business environment which the industry is based is being disrupted. Our age old assumptions in business are no more relevant and the metrics of success are being redefined and where the clarity of words we use to discuss business, standbys like marketplace and competitive advantage, are redefined and rendered almost meaningless, makes it imperative that the industry will be disrupted. In the globalized knowledge economy where the goal is not efficiency but is adaptability or innovation or unleashing human potential where a whole new management system and tools is being reinvented, it is only a matter of time.
A shifting of our mindset to disrupt our traditional process, and rebelliously discard old business clichés and remake the market landscape for Design, Engineering & Construction by deliberately targeting situations where the competition is complacent and the customer has been consistently overlooked or under-served and greatly accelerate the way firms operate internally to keep pace with a rapidly changing world.
Meeting client’s expectation through an enhanced client experience is key to making AEC industry relevant in digital globalized economy.
