The Technology Enabled Construction Cluster (Cluster TEC) focuses on increasing the competitiveness and market share of its members in the construction industry.
Members include companies such as Erbașu Group, Avitech, Arggo, Leviatan Design, and others. Rodica Lupu, the cluster's manager, highlights the growing interest of Romanian construction companies in digital technologies but acknowledges that progress is slow. A government-level BIM strategy could accelerate this process.
Cluster TEC contributes to the promotion of digital technologies through newsletters, its website, and organized events. Innovation and digitalization projects, including digital skills development and grants for innovative technologies, are initiated to support cluster members. A BIM trainer preparation program and participation in digital innovation hubs complement the efforts to promote digitalization in construction.
Regarding alternatives to digitalization, Rodica Lupu acknowledges the existence of a countercurrent but emphasizes the inevitability and benefits of digital transformation. In conclusion, she encourages companies to embrace digitalization, stressing that it will become essential for their relevance and competitiveness in the near future.
