2025 marks the 15th year of the Digital Construction Report produced by NBS—a global leading technology platform that combines content and connectivity for anyone involved in the design, supply and construction of the built environment.
What is the 2025 Digital Construction Report?
The 2025 Digital Construction Report reveals what over 550 industry professionals really think about artificial intelligence (AI), building information modeling (BIM), cloud technology and sustainability, as well as how these technologies are reshaping the built environment.
From the rapid rise of AI to the maturing role of BIM the report provides a snapshot of the current usage of, and attitudes towards, a range of technologies, and reports on their impact on the sector. Here are some of the key takeaways from the report.
BIM adoption: here to stay
What is BIM? BIM is an acronym for Building Information Modelling. It is a highly collaborative process that allows multiple stakeholders and architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals to collaborate on the planning, design and construction of a building within one 3D model. Data from the buildings is made available to stakeholders allowing them to make informed decisions.
