Building the 21st Century: Technology’s Impact on the Construction Workforce

Times are changing. More and more new use cases for technology have crept into the jobsite. With condensed project schedules and worker shortages, builders are looking for new solutions to stay competitive and productive.

New technology trends in construction can be seen in:

  • AI to aid in predictive design assistance and project management
  • IoT to connect tools to digital workspaces
  • Robotics to perform monotonous and dangerous tasks safely
  • 3D printing to fabricate components directly onsite for immediate use
  • AR to marry what we see in the physical world to what we expect in our BIM models

Players in the industry can no longer sit on their laurels and ignore these technological transformations. The workforce must be trained and educated on how to work alongside these technologies. Learn more about how these technologies are reshaping the construction job market.
