Licensed contractors are taking on more work than ever before. Alongside the overall growth in the construction industry has been the growth in competition between contractors, even among seasoned vets. Simply speaking, “industry growth” isn’t to blame for contractor-to-contractor competition. So, what is?
Technology.
Competition between contractors is mostly due to the adoption of technology in the industry, with the lead competitors embracing digital trends with open arms.
Should the Industry Avoid Contractor Competition?
According to Construction Executive, contractors who want to improve efficiencies and remain competitive in an over-saturated market have to embrace digital trends in order to keep up with their peers and the fast-paced growth of the industry overall. With multiple options in the field that allow contractors to include tech in their practice, contractors are better able to lay groundwork that improves efficiencies while increasing competition between one another. Overall, technology in a growing industry helps to grow and maintain improved construction businesses, and shouldn’t be avoided.
