Leveraging digital transformation in the construction sector

In light of the rapid developments taking place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, digital transformation stands out as one of the most important trends reshaping the construction sector. Modern technology has become pivotal in improving project efficiency, from the planning stage to delivery and operation. Below, we review how these technologies contribute to enhancing this vital sector:

Construction management software

Construction management programs offer a comprehensive solution for project managers, as they assist in:

Improving resource allocation through data analysis and more effective task distribution.

Real-time monitoring: Providing a comprehensive view of project progress, enhancing transparency, and facilitating decision-making.

Reducing manual tasks: eliminating repetitive burdens, allowing teams to focus on strategic aspects.

Digital integration

Digital tools and technologies have become a fundamental pillar for achieving success, and digital integration contributes to connecting all stakeholders in the project, including:

Architects: Ensuring effective coordination between design and execution.

Contractors and suppliers: Simplifying purchasing and inventory management.

Clients: Providing continuous updates in project management.

Data sharing platforms: To facilitate real-time communication, reducing delays and improving coordination efforts.

Advanced digital tools

Advanced software helps improve the quality of processes and make decisions with the highest accuracy through:

Big data analysis: anticipating potential challenges and developing proactive plans.

Building Information Modeling (BIM): Creating accurate 3D models that facilitate planning and execution.

Artificial intelligence technologies: improving scheduling and reducing costs.

Lean Principles

These principles are gaining increasing attention in the construction sector in Saudi Arabia, where adopting these principles is considered a strategic step towards enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs in construction projects. This approach contributes to:

Enabling work teams to conduct precise project analyses, allowing for the identification and proactive resolution of discrepancies.

Avoid the negative effects that may result from these imbalances, which can hinder the project's progress.

Teams can reduce waste resulting from repetitive or unnecessary tasks, thereby enhancing the optimal use of available resources.

Improving coordination between different departments reduces task conflicts and ensures projects are completed on time and within budget.

This approach fosters a culture of continuous improvement within teams, where employees are encouraged to propose innovative solutions to enhance processes.

In general, applying lean management principles in the Saudi construction sector is a proactive approach to achieving operational excellence, as it helps in achieving project goals with higher efficiency and lower costs while maintaining the quality of the final outputs.

Sustainable construction technologies

In line with Vision 2030, we at the Summit Foundation are working towards building a more sustainable future. We believe that green construction is a fundamental pillar in achieving this ambitious vision. Through the use of eco-friendly materials and innovative designs, and among these technologies:

Standard construction

Modular construction is redefining the construction industry. By assembling prefabricated components off-site, we offer innovative solutions that significantly accelerate project timelines. At Qimma, we invest in the latest technologies to ensure manufacturing precision and installation quality, making modular construction the ideal solution for projects that require speed without compromising quality.

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

The construction sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has witnessed significant development thanks to Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, which has become an essential part of achieving integration and collaboration among various parties involved in projects. Through this revolutionary technology, it has become possible to integrate 3D data with utmost precision, allowing for accurate project planning, reducing errors, and minimizing rework costs. Asas Al-Qimma Company believes in the importance of this technology in achieving the Kingdom's ambitious vision, as it contributes to improving the stages of design and planning, enhancing construction management, and extending to the operation and maintenance phase of buildings. Thanks to the comprehensive virtual vision provided by this technology, communication between different teams has become easier, contributing to informed decision-making and accelerating project completion.

Modern safety procedures

Safety is our top priority in the Saudi construction sector, and at Asas Al-Qimma Company, we elevate safety standards to new heights. We rely on the latest smart technologies, such as drones and AI surveillance systems, to provide a safe working environment for all workers.
