Advanced technology use in construction is “still in its adolescence” despite many companies planning to integrate AI, according to a report from Milwaukee-based advisory firm Wipfli.
The company this week issued its latest report on the state of technology in construction, which relies on survey results gathered from businesses of varying sizes across the country. It found that while firms in this industry are investing in AI, cloud-based platforms, cybersecurity and green building technologies, “many struggle to optimize the tools they already have,” authors wrote.
While 82% of respondents said they have an AI strategy, most are at the “entry level,” using consumer-grade tools for tasks rather than fully integrating the technology into business operations or strategic decisionmaking, the report shows.
