Katerina Milovanoska to speak at Design-Build Conference & Expo 2022
The Benefit of Digital Twins from an Owner’s Perspective
Gafcon Digital Director, BIM/VDC Katerina Milovanoska will lead a session on The Benefit of Digital Twins from an Owner’s Perspective at the Design-Build Conference and Expo, being held from November 2-4 in Las Vegas.
Digitization has come to most industries, but the Construction Industry is a laggard. The fact that we call it the Construction Industry sums it up. To Owners the cost of construction is often less than 15% of the cost of the total building lifecycle. Welcome the Digital Building Lifecycle. For the last seven years Katerina has been leading the charge to digitize the industry; working for large owner occupiers to integrate the changes through process, technology and people initiatives. The successes are evident. Design duration reducing by 60%. RFIs reduced by 90%. Change orders all but eliminated. Cost and Schedule reduced while increasing Quality and Safety and all for companies at the top of their industries. In order to get consistent and predictable outcomes in complex construction projects, we need to focus on reducing the number of variables in the equation. The process and supply chain are infinity complex and this leads to near predictable failures - it just isn't clear what will fail.
Hosted by the Design-Build Industry Association (DBIA), the Design-Build Conference & Expo helps design-build teams prepare for the opportunities ahead. Design-build is anticipated to account for as much as 47% of construction spending by 2025 and Owners and industry are looking for qualified design-build professionals in all disciplines because design-build will play a major role in delivering our nation’s infrastructure priorities.
DBIA is the only association with a division dedicated to educating and elevating the importance of VDC Done Right and this event brings together the right people at the right time to make an impact that will move the industry forward.
