# Breaking the Digital Divide in QS Practice

New PAQS research reveals QS professionals are finally embracing digital transformation—and the results are impressive!

**Key findings from 8 countries, 51+ QS professionals:**
-  **Enhanced quantity take-off & cost estimation** leads the pack (5.35/7 rating)[1]
-  **Faster information transfer** between project teams (4.86/7)[1]
-  **Reduced response times** for queries & approvals (4.86/7)[1]
-  **Transparent project workflows** building trust across stakeholders[1]

**No regional bias**: Digital tools perform consistently well across all PAQS member countries—from Brunei to South Africa[1]

**The message is clear**: It's time to ditch the measurement paper and embrace automation. QS firms investing in robust digital tools, cloud platforms, and integrated lifecycle systems are seeing real performance gains[1]

**Fear replaced by facts** - This comprehensive study proves digital tech enhances rather than threatens our profession's value.
