SCGMA Webinar: How Technology is Transforming the Construction Industry

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.
