INDUSTRY.co.id - Jakarta - As a step to start the digitalization awareness movement of the construction world in Indonesia, PT PP Tbk (PTPP) held PP International Conference Digital Construction Day  2017 under the theme "Build Before Construct".

"We consider the need for a transformation into the era of digital construction as applied by some developed countries, one of which is applying the concept of Building information Modeling (BIM)," said PTPP President Director Tumiyana in Jakarta, Wednesday (4/10/2017) .

The disruption era is driven by the development of the digital world, the construction sector is one sector that will definitely be affected by digital transformation. However, digital adoption in the construction sector is much slower than that of other sectors.

"The efficiency of cost and productivity, quality improvement and accuracy of time always be a challenge from year to year in the field of construction," he said.
