ITB Nigeria Ltd, a construction firm,  has called for the digitization of the construction industry in Nigeria.

The Managing Director of ITB Nigeria, Mr. Ramzi Chidiac, made this call at the ITB Victoria Island Office recently.

According to a statement from the firm, Mr. Chidiac noted that digital technology would foster the growth of the construction industry, minimize project delays, reduce the occurrence of accidents and guarantee cost effective building projects.

In addition, the adoption of digital technology will pave way for the emergence of green and smart buildings, which brings about positive benefits for the environment, he said.

Mr. Chidiac said, “If adequate and collective attention is given to the value of technology in construction, we can better control the quality and standards upheld in engineering. As Nigeria moves closer to its vision 2020, it is imperative that all sectors are challenged to uphold the best standards. I believe that the way forward for the construction industry is to embrace digitization.”
