TECHNOLOGY HAS LONG BEEN POSITIONED AS THE WAY
FORWARD. AND THERE'S NO DENYING THE PRODUCTIVITY
GAINS THAT CAN AND HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED THROUGH
GREATER ADOPTION OF CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY.
BUT TECHNOLOGY ALONE ISN'T A CUREALL FOR
CONSTRUCTION'S CHALLENGES. WE MUST ALSO
CONSIDER THE ROLE PEOPLE AND PROCESSES PLAY.
There are many still-untapped
opportunities to improve how
teams are doing the work and
working together across the project
lifecycle. Owners, engineers,
contractors, and other
stakeholders are often not
collaborating, communicating, and
cooperating as eectively as they
could to drive more predictable
outcomes and more successful
projects.
Because each stakeholder team is
relying on their specic tools to do
the work, data too often ends up
siloed or lost entirely. A lack of data
integration makes it dicult to
access information to inform
decisions or identify areas for
improvement.
Even companies with robust ERP
systems may still be ghting
against disparate data sources
and ineciency because their
systems aren't fully integrated.
And lacking the incentive or
requirement from owners to
change, it's all too easy to
maintain the status quo.
