Each year, hundreds of individuals participate in the BuiltWorlds Benchmarking Program in order to understand and implement the best technology solutions the industry has to offer. Through our five comprehensive surveys that can be taken by Engineering & Construction company employees, BuiltWorlds is able to benchmark the current state of technology adoption and utilization across the globe. In turn, members can use this information to build the most optimized tech stacks as determined by the industry.
BuiltWorlds member companies are able to access annual benchmarking reports on the state of technology adoption, as well as our library of buyer's guides (tech specialty reports) which provide detailed information on the best available solutions as determined by those using the technology. Additionally, members who participate in the surveys are provided technology assessment reports that identify variances between the survey responses and industry averages. These reports can be used to best understand your company's current use of technology, and areas you may be able to improve. All of the information provided in the reports is unbiased, third party data provided by technology users across the globe.
