Canon Central & North Africa will host a free two-day ‘Africa Digital Construction 2020 Webinar’ on 15 and 16 September 2020.
Aimed at the architecture, engineering and construction sectors in Africa, it is expected to provide insight into the fast-growing building information modelling and technologies
BIM and technologies in construction projects are increasingly being used as the need for remote collaboration, for quick, multiple project deliveries increases.
According to Canon, the architecture, engineering and construction sectors are also realising the impact digital transformation has on their projects and business, in both the short and long term.
The sectors believed it was the “Need of the Hour” to be BIM-compliant and utilise the right tools and systems that will lead to timely, budgeted and efficient projects – be it an individual or a conglomerate.
BIM data can be used to illustrate the entire building life-cycle, from cradle to cradle, from inception and design to demolition and materials reuse. Spaces, systems, products and sequences can be shown in relative scale to each other and, in turn, relative to the entire project.
A statement by Canon explained, “It has established itself to be a powerful process for design and construction teams over the last 20 years. In essence, it is a communication tool. The future of BIM involves using the model at all stages to improve collaboration.
“For two hours on 15 and 16 September, delegates will hear from some of the best in the industry. It promises to be an information-packed four hours and includes strategic panel discussions, case studies and interactive sessions. Delegates will also gain insight into topical subjects such as ‘Virtual and Augmented Reality in Digital Construction’ and ‘Open standards as a reliable means for information exchange in the Building industry to name a few’.”
Canon speaker at the webinar,Ben Gossage, B2B Sales & Marketing Director (Canon Central & North Africa) will give a top-line strategic understanding of Canon’s current strategy and future plans in this focused construction vertical. As Canon as positioned itself closer to our customers, understanding handing there needs and providing the latest solution to adapt to the changing digital transformation era.
