Construction work has to be completed more efficiently than ever. Construction Business Owner says that the combination of a skilled labor shortage and rising material costs are to blame. “The work is there, but it has to be done more efficiently than ever, with a more frugal use of materials and a potentially smaller, less experienced crew.”
Construction companies face a tough decision when it comes to automation in the industry, but the choice is clear: do, or die. Why? If you can’t keep up with demands, you run the risk of overspending on labor or materials, disappointing client and even failing your business.
Digital Automation in Construction
Construction technology has seen more than $10 billion in technology investments over the last decade. While investors have been waiting patiently for an upsurge in the digitalization of the industry, no one was prepared for how badly the industry would need it. Between the labor shortage that doesn’t look like it will correct itself anytime soon and the material prices skyrocketing 9% from May 2017 to May 2018, the construction industry must adopt technology in order to keep up with the workload.
