Ready or not, it’s time for the construction industry to face its future.
Whether you’ve ever flown a drone over a construction site or you still have a vice-like grip on your colored pencils and slide rules, 2018 should be the year to embrace technology like never before.
Why? Productivity. Productivity. Productivity. The McKinsey Global Institute reports that construction productivity is stuck at the same level as it was 80 years ago. With contractors routinely blowing their schedule by 20 percent and their budget by 80 percent, the industry is poised to embrace new tools and solutions like never before. Not only can new technology accelerate productivity and improve accuracy, it can also reduce the risk associated with complex building projects.
