Go to any property and construction technology panel and someone is inevitably going to say that the construction industry has been slower than other sectors to adopt tech-forward practices, but this ignores how responsive construction has been to solving problems for as long as people have been building.
The misperception is due to a major difference between construction and design and other sectors: the products construction companies deliver are built to be used heavily by many people for decades and even centuries and they need to be absolutely sure that a technology will add value, because mistakes are magnified in an industry where the clients and the public are using the products for the very long term, and corrections are difficult and costly to make.
