Let's face it, the hype around construction technology has been unavoidable the last couple of years. Even if you’ve been slow to adopt tech tools, it’s hard not to be excited by the buzz surrounding everything from robots to drones, to machine learning, to 3-D printing.
In fact, a lot of the news around new tech tools has to do with the huge amount of attention (and money) construction is receiving from Silicon Valley. In the first three quarters of 2018, construction tech startups brought in $1.27 billion in venture funding—124 percent higher than the $563.5 million raised in all of 2017.
