The construction industry is in a moment of enormous change. Business is booming — and so is the number, complexity and duration of projects. Concurrently, a serious shortage of affordable, skilled labor means that many companies are operating short-staffed.

Increasingly, construction companies are turning to technology to improve their productivity, make the most of limited resources, improve safety and document and coordinate every step of their projects. According to McKinsey, investment in construction technology has doubled in the past decade. The most innovative companies are integrating technology into their daily processes, choosing technology partners that provide intuitive tools that every team member can use. By doing so, these companies are able to remain competitive and grow revenue, reaping the benefits of more comprehensive real-time reporting, resulting in savvier asset allocation and project planning.
