Watch: Silicon Valley Will Attract The Next Generation In Construction

The construction industry still trails behind others in its investment in technology, but that’s changing. Construction technology is already making a huge impact on improving quality, reducing risk, shortening schedules, and improving margins. With a tech-savvy, technology-first approach, the industry can close the shortage/demand gap of skilled workers and engineers. The construction industry needs to show the next generation the impact it can have on something seen, lived-in, and inhabited by real people. The innovative use of technology in the industry is a compelling story, but construction firms need to do more outreach to students and prospective workers.
