Digital transformation gaining traction in construction industry

The trend towards digital transformation in the construction industry is firmly taking hold in Vietnam, especially the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM). According to Mr. Nicolas Mangon, Vice President of AEC, Business Strategy, and Marketing at Autodesk, although Vietnam is a developing country, its use of cloud computing and 3D technology is as high as in developed countries and it leads the ASEAN region.

Many businesses have used BIM and had success. During international integration, foreign investment is constantly increasing, requiring that Vietnamese enterprises apply BIM as a mandatory standard. In renovations, BIM technology allows for the detailed scanning of buildings, making consulting and resolving construction problems much faster, more accurate, and more effective.

Autodesk also announced that Vietnamese enterprises were winners of ASEAN Innovation Awards 2022 for their efforts in applying innovative technology in the construction industry, including the Becamex IDC Corporation, the Ricons Construction Investment JSC, and the D&B Consulting and Design JSC. This shows that Vietnam’s construction industry in general and enterprises in the construction sector in particular are actively implementing digital transformation.

Mr. Mangon said that many small companies in Vietnam are using BIM tools to gain a competitive advantage over larger companies. The country is considered a core market for Autodesk, with many partners using its AEC Collection and BIM Collaborate Pro solutions to design projects. Autodesk software also plays an important role in the implementation of long-term projects, including Long Thanh International Airport.

Construction enterprises such as Hoa Binh have also increased their cooperation with Autodesk to improve competitiveness, apply BIM solutions, promote growth, and boost digital transformation in the company and the industry.
