Recent years, especially the post-pandemic, have seen a huge rise in companies of all sectors moving more into the digital age. However, the construction industry has had a sharp increase in the shift into digitalisation.
Lack of digital adoption in construction
The construction industry has been known for dragging its heels when it comes to keeping up with the digital age. This is for a few reasons. Firstly, the industry as a whole is fairly traditional and in some cases is resistant to change.
Profit margins in the construction industry are slim even in less uncertain times. This means that there is a lack of investment in training and innovation for digital applications.
