What is i-Construction?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

i-Construction is an initiative led by Japan\u2019s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) that aims to dramatically increase productivity across the entire construction production system by integrating ICT (Information and Communication Technology) throughout construction sites. The three pillars of i-Construction are: full-scale utilization of ICT (ICT Earthwork), standardization of specifications (concrete works), and standardization of construction periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
