Digital transformation requires the implication of all stakeholders of the AECO industry ecosystem. Because of this transformation, an expectations gap between owners’ and the project team could emerge. Adopting a clear vision that is well defined by the owner, which adapts to the industry pace, and which promotes collaboration, remains essential in this context of transformation which integrates innovative practices such as BIM and IDP. This is the method of choice for the SQI, a major public owner in Quebec, to undertake this digital transformation, and generate value throughout the life cycle of its facilities.
