This session explores ways to better utilize technology and improve processes in the construction industry. Over the past decade, technology has advanced at an exponential rate, yet in reality we have only seen a fraction of what's been predicted. Despite the advances, we are still building facilities using antiquated practices. Why are we slow to see technological advances in the construction industry? While other industries are getting more productive and seeing a decline in product cost, construction productivity continues to decline and costs continue to soar. What is holding us back? How can we progress in seeing the efficiencies promised by new technologies? Each of us can make a difference, not by doing more, but by doing it differently. Change may be uncomfortable. What discomfort are we willing to bear today so that we can advance tomorrow?
