The Build Tech: Innovation in Construction seminar brought together industry leader representatives; Simon Saint ( Skanska ), Matt Gough ( James Daniel ) and James Daniel ( Mace Group ) to discuss the pivotal role technology can play in construction. All agreed that modular construction was the current hot topic, but there was also a focus on improving productivity and efficiency through predictive maintenance, improved collaboration and supply chain mapping. The key challenge is how to integrate technology into an industry that is so diverse and the associated costs and risks of creating and maintaining new IT systems that can allow the sector to innovate and evolve.
