About this book

The book wants to do justiceto the complexity surrounding the Digital Transformation and AI in the Construction Industry. User practice experiences show how digital change can be shaped sensibly and constructively, what kind of methods and technologies do exist or can be developed, which fields of application can be explored, by keeping an eye on risks and opportunities.

The book works out key factors and core competencies at all levels, which are decisive both for sustainably using innovative technologies and for setting the Seal of Quality of the Construction Industry at home and abroad.

About the author

The Author

With the desire for more courage Bianca Weber-Lewerenz, Civil Engineer, wants to increase the awareness by deepening knowledge and to reach a fundamental reorientation of the Construction Industry. Knowledge creates trust, fears create prejudices. Especially from the building trade, where a lot of strength, self-confidence and potential lie, one expects this courage.

She has been following the technological development and the culture of values in Construction since becoming the 1st female bricklayer in Baden-Württemberg. She shows ethically aligned ways for a successful, sustainable digital transformation.

With the "Excellence initiative for Sustainable, Human-Led AI in Construction" founded in 2020 she brings the Construction Industry into the general debate on a trustworthy, sustainable AI. For her research she cooperates with the INaB at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, RWTH Aachen University.
