Industries like automotive, aerospace, manufacturing started adopting next-generation technologies like 3D modeling as early as the mid-1980s, but did you know the construction industry took nearly 20 years later to embrace 3D models. As a powerhouse of an industry, why has this been so slow? The industrial revolution 4.0 is here and yet again, the construction sector is facing slower adoption rates. We speak to Denis Branthonne, the CEO of Novade Solutions to find out what’s been happening in the sector and how to embrace it better.
