McKinsey recently shared an article on how they believe companies up and down the construction supply chain can survive and thrive during and after the COVID-19 crisis. The article closed with seven things construction firms can do to increase their chances of success:
Accelerate rollout and adoption of digitization - after a paragraph of discussion, BIM is the what the article said should be rolled out.
Invest in the culture and skills needed to operate in the next normal - discussed several options but emphasized BIM in the end.
Build a control tower across the portfolio - after a paragraph of discussion, the authors describe this as firms maximizing all resources available.
Bolster supply-chain resilience - if impossible to find alternative partners, firms will make their own stuff and solutions.
Redeploy capital and resources - explanation essentially said to invest money properly and that COVID-19 might force firms to act right.
Identify opportunities to shift work off-site - fairly obvious as most firms have been working towards this. COVID-19 might just expedite this process.
Get closer to customers - strive to partner with customers prior to and during construction projects. Truly understand customer needs and values and deliver on them.
