A model on its own shows the final outcome—the finished structure, the vision, the end state. But a model by itself tells us nothing about risk, nothing about sequence, nothing about how the work will actually unfold.

Certainly, most in the construction industry have heard about BIM (building information modeling) and its 3D, 4D, 5D, and 6D components. All of this is set to evolve with the rise of AI (artificial intelligence), as Fortune Business Insights suggests the global AI in construction market will grow from $4.86 billion in 2025 to $6.02 billion in 2026, and to $35.53 billion by 2034, which is a 24.8% growth rate. Keep in mind, as the technology continues to evolve, the heart of BIM is in the processes surrounding it and in the storytelling that comes with the model.

Innovation inevitability reshapes the way we live, work, and relate to each other. Thus, when we enter a new era of innovation, we must always enter it with a spirit of curiosity and a spirit of eager learning. Approaching these changes with curiosity allows us to ask better questions, explore new possibilities, and challenge our assumptions, rather than cling to outdated principles. Consider the recent example of a new innovations center.
