The lack of digital adoption has been hindering productivity and adding unnecessary waste for the construction industry. Yet, it is hard to drive digital transformation without standards. With the adoption of GS1 global standards, it enables a comprehensive digital framework to identify, capture, share and use data throughout the construction project lifecycle. By combining OpenBIM processes with unique identifiers, it provides the needed visibility of all products, parts and components used in building projects, making it a critical piece of any sustainability strategy, and driving increased efficiencies in supply chain management processes.
