??? Embracing Change in Building Surveying: Navigating Disruptive Innovation! ??
In the world of building surveying, change has been a slow-moving entity. But, the tides of innovation are shifting, and our industry is at a crossroads. With a significant proportion of surveyors over 50, embracing change may seem daunting, yet it's a necessity in this era of disruptive innovation.
Here are three transformative shifts that demand our attention over the next decade:
?? **No.1: Embrace New Building Methods**??
Down Under, Australia is pioneering 3D construction printing for homes - an answer to the pressing #HousingCrisis. Building surveyors can no longer wait for a standard to emerge, performance solution are being created for 3D printing but are not being shared. How can we move beyond the slow-paced traditional method for agreeing standards? Engaging with 3D construction technology #3DCP is groundbreaking technology which isn't just about staying relevant; it's about shaping the future of construction which is the job of the surveyor.
?? **No.2: Adapt to the Changing Business Model**??
Artificial Intelligence has moved beyond mere automation; it's scripting intelligent checklists, performance solutions, and reports in alignment with codes and regulations (humans will never beat a machine in accuracy and checking). Beyond that, AI empowers consumers to ask more profound questions about the building process. Evolve with AI and elevate your role as a surveyor who bridges innovative tech and client needs.

?? **No.3: Cultivate Staff Engagement and Embrace Robotic Assistants**??
The shortage of new talents entering our field demands a radical rethink of how we attract and retain talent. It's not just about knowing the "Deemed to Satisfy" anymore. The evolving landscape calls for a multidisciplinary skill set. Traditional surveying shops must metamorphose into hubs of creativity, where AI and human ingenuity intersect seamlessly.
?? So, what does the future hold for your business???
As these changes unfurl, your adaptability will define your success. While challenges may arise, envision the possibilities – a realm where building surveyors wield AI as a personalized assistant. Much like the shovel was replaced by the digger (human still needed!), the surveyor's evolution lies in harnessing and learning how to operate the new tools!
??? **Where to Adapt?**??
Futurists concur: Rise above! As shovels yielded to diggers, surveyors must ascend to become AI-versed consultants. Embrace AI as your ally and guide, mastering its capabilities to enhance your expertise and efficiency. The future is waiting, and the key to unlocking its potential is in your hands.
The time for change is now, and the future is yours to shape. Let's build a new paradigm together!
