In line with global shift in traditional building and construction methods, ITB Nigeria Limited, one of the foremost construction firms in the country, is pushing for the digitization of the construction industry, leading to green architecture and smart buildings.
The company hopes that digital technology will foster the growth of the construction industry, minimize project delays, reduce the occurrence of accidents and guarantee cost-effective building projects.
“The adoption of digital technology will pave way for the emergence of green and smart buildings, which brings about positive benefits for the environment”, ITB, an innovative engineering firm in Nigeria, explained in a statement obtained by BusinessDay in Lagos.

Ramzi Chidiac, the company’s managing director, is of the view that if adequate and collective attention is given to the value of technology in construction, “we can better control the quality and standards upheld in engineering; as Nigeria moves closer to its vision 2020, it is imperative that all sectors are challenged to uphold the best standards. I believe that the way forward for the construction industry is to embrace digitization.”
“At ITB, we recognize the huge benefits that technology can bring to human lives and to the environment, and that is why we are committed to providing advanced building solutions. Evidenced by our use of steel and concrete, and the construction of the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)certified building in Nigeria, we continually seek efficient ways to adopt new technology to improve the standard of living”, he added.
ITB Nigeria has already made a strong mark in the country with several projects. The full range of their services is constantly challenged by the desire to revolutionize how buildings are erected and the effect they have in the overall aesthetics of the city and its environment.
