Although technology, platforms and data will play a crucial part in shaping the future of construction over the next eight to 10 years, its success will ultimately depend on people — the general contractors, specialty contractors and owners who are building that future. Technology will reveal new solutions to longstanding challenges and introduce sweeping changes to the industry, but without you, it is simply a tool.
The four pillars of construction outlined here, Productivity, Workforce, Decision-Making, and Design, will power new ways of collaborating, communicating, and constructing. In many ways, that future is now. How we adapt to and harness those technologies and how we enable our people will determine how effective we are at achieving this future state.
