In the construction industry, the pre-construction phase is critical in setting the stage for successful project outcomes. It involves thorough planning, coordination, and analysis to ensure that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.

Central to these efforts is the effective use of data and digital tools, which are transforming traditional approaches with more efficient, precise, and collaborative processes. By leveraging advanced technologies such as BIM and integrating data management strategies, the construction industry can enhance decision-making, optimise resource use, and reduce risks. Simple, right? On paper, yes, but when implementing new processes there is always a risk. The risk that not everyone is on the same page, the risk that technology fails, the risk of legacy systems, incorrect data and the lack of enough knowledge within the industry to truly make these things stick! Think we better meet today's guest who should help to settle our nerves on this one.

Anita Soni is a digital transformation leader in the construction industry, utilising data and information management tools & processes to enhance design and construction productivity through BIM, Engineering Survey & Geospatial solutions. 

Anita has a proven track record of leading and delivering BIM processes on multi-sector mega & large infrastructure projects with extensive and successful experience in preconstruction, delivering digital and innovation strategies as well as pre-contract documentation for tenders.

With an Engineering Doctorate from UCL in Geomatic Engineering, Anita is a Chartered Surveyor of RICS and the founder of DataStruct as well as consulting for Third Digital who specialise in CDE configuration and BIM/CAD management services.
