Technological Trends - THE "DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION"
The industry has shifted from basic CAD to highly integrated digital ecosystems.
Building Information Modeling and Digital Twins: By twenty twenty-five, BIM is no longer just "nice to have"; it is becoming a requirement for large-scale government and private projects.
