Construction sector digitization courses
To be successful in the years to come, getting fully into a true digital strategy is essential. The construction digitization or the call Construction 4.0, will be one of the fundamental pillars of any architecture office.
The brick and mortar sector is changing by leaps and bounds, and we have to adapt to these new needs if we are to remain competitive.
You are ready? Here, it's not just about handling that new drawing software for architecture. It is a complex change that requires Technical formation in different fields. And, this time, they make it very easy for us …
The Construction Labor Foundation, the Telefónica Foundation and the CEOE have created learning Nanograd Construction 4.0. With the objective of knowing how to take advantage of the full potential of digitization within the construction and works sector.
