From global supply chain disruptions to adopting strict physical distancing rules to keep construction sites open, the Australian construction industry is learning to respond to this unprecedented era of change. While many project delays have been exacerbated by COVID-related challenges around health, safety and productivity, it only reveals what the industry already knows – that it remains one of the least digitised industries.
