The Future of Construction: Technology's Impact on the Way We Do Business
Manage episode 482259694 series 3385001
Clark and James explore how technology is reshaping the future of contracting, focusing on implementing tech solutions to grow construction companies efficiently and effectively.
• LIDAR technology ($2-5k service) can save thousands in construction costs by identifying underground obstacles before breaking ground
• Drones provide safer roof inspections, marketing material, and comprehensive site surveys without physical climbing
• AI-powered takeoff software helps with estimates but supplier services may be sufficient for occasional needs
• Chat GPT and AI assistants can enhance emails, presentations, and interior design visualization for client proposals
• Construction management software forms the backbone for systematizing processes and training employees
• The dual training approach: software teaches employees how to execute tasks while core values teach them how to think and make decisions
• 81% of clients will pay more for contractors with clear communication and processes
• Fear of technology disruption is balanced by recognizing that the human element remains essential in construction
• Signature services and niche marketing help contractors stand out in crowded markets
