Over the years, the incorporation of digital technology in the construction sector and modern methods of construction
have been considered crucial for closing critical gaps and increasing productivity. In the How We Build Now report
done by Procore, 80 percent of decision-makers stated that due to the volatility of the current industry and the
economy, the level of investments in digital transformation has increased in the previous three to six months.

It shows a significant trend toward prioritising technological advancements to drive growth and efficiency within the
sector.

This is evident in the UAE, where government entities such as Dubai Municipality and leading construction
technology providers, such as Procore, have kept pace with the shifting tides of the sector to address concerns and
at the same time support and enhance project efficiency, delivery, collaboration, safety, profitability, and compliance.

In a recent dialogue, Madeleine Skillen, Senior Marketing Manager of Procore, and Basel Tachwali, Construction
Technology Specialist at Dubai Municipality, shed light on the future trajectory of construction in the UAE.

The discussion underscored the vital role of digital technology solutions and modular construction in shaping the
industry’s future.

Leveraging technology to boost efficiency

Technology’s pivotal role in simplifying processes and accelerating work in the construction industry has become
increasingly evident. During the talk, Tachwali emphasised Dubai’s openness to adopting technology solutions and
modular construction well in advance.
