WPCCA Webinar: How Technology is Transforming the Construction Industry

Technology is driving dramatic changes throughout the construction industry and every company is being affected. There is growing use of established software solutions while a host of emerging technologies and digital processes are rapidly gaining traction. Users are learning to master data collection and analytics so they can exert more effective control, be more accurately predictive and produce ever-improving outcomes for everyone involved. Meanwhile, macro-trends such as industrialized production, AI/machine learning, jobsite automation, 3D printing, digital twins and sustainable construction continue to advance.

Dodge Data & Analytics is a global leader in conducting extensive research on AEC technology and publishing free comprehensive reports which are frequently cited as authoritative references. Steve Jones, Senior Director of Industry Insights Research for Dodge Data & Analytics will share recent findings that highlight the most important technology trends impacting construction companies, with a particular focus on specialty trade contractors.
