5 Easy to Adopt & Affordable Innovations That Can Be Added to Your Business Today

 

Technology and innovation in construction have finally arrived and it is coming at a time of great need in the construction industry. The industry is wrestling with historical supply chain problems, labor shortages, and fluctuating building material costs – all at the same time! When one of these obstacles is present in construction it will have negative effects on bottom lines and stress levels, but to have all three is unprecedented! As an industry, we might be busy and booked out for months or even all of 2022 with projects, however, how much profit and determination remains after all of these challenges have taken a stranglehold on so many construction businesses? The answer is yet to be determined, but those businesses that are adopting new technology in construction are already starting to see the potential to take back the efficiencies that they so desperately lost in 2020 and 2021. 

Construction has seen innovation in the planning and pre-bid process, safety, modular construction, building information modeling, and virtual design, 3D printing, robotics, artificial intelligence, drones, software, and communication tools, just to name a few! Construction, however, is complex, ever-changing, and unpredictable (especially these days), so technology too has to be complex and have the ability to solve complex problems. For that reason, some of the most innovative products in the industry are not attainable for the vast majority of businesses. The good news is that we are starting to see affordable innovations and start-ups servicing virtually every sector of the construction industry. Now, even the smallest remodeler or construction worker has technology at their fingertips and the time is now to adopt them, create a more efficient staff and workforce and organize your business to be a more prosperous and lean one in 2022. 

The 5 businesses below are a few examples of some platforms that virtually every business can afford and may just be the secret to your success or the differentiator that your business needs this upcoming year!
