Why Construction Needs to Rethink Its Digital Foundations

KMS Featured in Construction Industry News: How Construction Firms can Build Solid Digital Foundations

We’re pleased to be featured in the latest edition of Construction Industry News, in an article exploring why the construction sector needs to rethink its digital foundations, and the role structured data plays in driving meaningful transformation.

The piece features insights from our team at KMS and our long-standing partner, David Parry of Vinci Building UK, who shares a main contractor’s perspective on the real-world impact of poor data and fragmented systems.

At KMS, we’ve long advocated that digital transformation in construction must be grounded in process, not just technology. Without consistent, structured data and a clear operational framework, even the best tools fall short.

The article discusses:

  • The risks of prioritising surface-level tech over robust process

  • How main contractors like Vinci are approaching digital transformation

  • The importance of structured data for compliance, collaboration, and the Golden Thread

It’s a valuable read for anyone in the sector serious about improving how their business captures and uses project information.
