Working in an isolated digital world: Increasing collaboration and productivity in the design & construction industry

As a collaborative practice, architecture, design and construction are acutely impacted by the shift to remote working. Face-to-face interaction, whether in a studio or on a construction site, is key to the production of a good design. Without effective solutions to connect remote employees, projects risk costly mistakes, project delays and poor-quality outcomes. With today’s teams increasingly dispersed, developing ways to maintain and build motivation and productivity is more important than ever.

Working in an isolated digital world: Increasing collaboration and productivity in the design & construction industry explores the challenges of remote working in the post-pandemic era. We look at how the shift towards remote working caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the design and construction industry. We discuss the challenges faced by remote workers, from increased isolation to issues with technology and productivity. Finally, we consider a new generation of digital tools that are helping design and construction companies build collaboration, motivation and productivity within their organisation.
