It’s not that the construction industry isn’t talking about technology. It’s the implementation where take up is slow. So, it was encouraging to get an invite from the Building Live team for their ‘Digital Futures and Managing Risks’ event. I jumped at the opportunity and spent an afternoon in the presence of some of the UK’s top 150 contractors sharing how technology can be embraced and used, and what the barriers for change are. Here are my takeaways from the day.
