Elena Chegotova: It is necessary to overcome the crisis associated with the digitalization of the construction industry

Abstract: Elena Chegotova, advisor to the chairman of the St. Petersburg Construction Committee, often speaks at industry events and talks about the digital reform. In her opinion, every building company has its own digital technologies. The gaps between the regions, between Moscow and almost all the regions are very large. As for St. Petersburg, it also has its own digital technologies. In some ways, this city is even a digital leader. You can learn a lot of information from Elena Chegotova’s speeches, but many questions still arise. So, the editorial staff of the “Geoinfo” journal invited her for an interview.
