DC Hub interviewed Alain Waha, Global Head of BIM and Digital at Buro Happold, to discuss the idea of technology with a purpose, driving broad support for digitalisation in construction, ensuring that tangible benefits are at the forefront of thinking and that the people who will make such projects a success are fully on board.

Equally, other industries have myriad examples of failed technology projects because those championing the investment have not fully thought through their plans, or spent enough time with key departments to really understand their requirements.
