Driving Productivity and Technology: A Developer’s Perspective

Presentation Synopsis:

From a developer’s perspective, driving productivity and technology adoption in the built environment requires more than deploying new tools—it requires leadership in shaping demand and enabling industry-wide transformation. This session will share how developers can play a catalytic role by implementing Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD), advancing productivity through digitalisation, and integrating robotics and automation across project lifecycles. 

Drawing from project experiences, I will highlight how developers can act as lead demand drivers—setting clear expectations for digital workflows, encouraging innovation, and accelerating adoption across the value chain. 

By fostering stronger partnerships across developers, contractors, and technology providers, the industry can move beyond incremental improvements and achieve meaningful transformation in safety, productivity, quality, and sustainability.
