Modern technology presents a wide range of industries with all sorts of new methods of solving problems. In the construction industry; however, some technological advances have been met with reluctance. Many other industries have leveraged advances in tech to become more efficient and sustainable, but many players in the construction industry have been hesitant to implement some of the changes that these industries are already making. Below, we can take a look at some staggering statistics about some challenges that the construction industry faces:

In order for contractors and construction companies to combat waste, embracing advances in CAD & CAM software can drastically change how an organization does business. If more organizations were to adopt proper Building Information Modeling (BIM) processes, industry waste as a whole could be cut dramatically. If companies learn to improve how software solutions and data content interact with machinery, project budgets will drop, the amount of materials used will decrease, and more projects will be delivered on time.
