Abstract
In this chapter, the challenges of transforming the construction industry and the use of digital technologies are discussed. Construction is the human activity that consumes the largest resources overall, and buildings and infrastructure are normally used for half a century or more. The need to transform the economy to circular flows is pressing, and the question is how much of the resources that should be dedicated to transformation activities with long lead times. Digital technologies need to serve functions as enablers of communication and improve the efficiency of administration, production, and distribution in the emerging supply chains of the circular economy. The main aspect that is likely to determine the speed of transformation is likely to be the change in customer preferences, rather than the use of digital technologies.
