Technological trends in large firms include building information modeling (BIM), the use of advanced building materials and construction robotics. Safety continues to be at the forefront of the industry no matter the size of the firm, with technological advances in tools such as construction wearables to keep workers safe. Technology has not scaled as quickly in construction as it has in other industries, such as automotive or aerospace, but it still has an impact. Technology has changed the construction process from the earliest phases of planning through to a project’s completion. Gone are the days of thick binders filled with paperwork that are handed over to the client at the end of a project, only to sit on a shelf and collect dust. The more sophisticated firms deliver those closeout packages digitally now.
