Dr. Emari, PMP presented his thought on different topics, two of which were the following:

1. In the aftermath of the covid lockdown, what support did you receive in your country to neutralize the impacts and how did that help?

Michigan was one of the top 3 states with the highest COVID cases in the beginning, but our governor handled the pandemic in a swift and strict way of stopping all work across the board and mandated a statewide “Shelter-in-Place” and “Stay-at-Home” Order. We had to stop our construction projects for a few weeks, but after following the proper guidelines and imposed restrictions, we were back to work full-force and haven’t had a problem at our job sites. The key success factor was the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act that gave economic assistance to businesses with loans, waiving of fees or liquidated damages, and payroll assistance helped in keeping the sick workers home and in quarantine.

2. Are you leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning and other disruptive technologies in your construction projects if yes in which areas?

The Construction Industry is lagging behind other industries when it comes to leveraging the new technologies. Major construction projects and high-end clients are looking into new AI technologies for BIM and Design Assist Technologies, Automated Progress Tracking, Quality Control, and Safety Supervision; however, it isn’t a norm for most construction projects. There have been great initiatives for BIM Adoption by some municipalities to mandate a LOD 200 BIM on public projects in some European countries, but I doubt there will be such measures in the USA, anytime soon.
