Some people might call me old-fashioned. I work in a trade that has been unchanged for thousands of years. I believe that sometimes these older techniques can help remind us where we come from, how to look at problems differently, and build upon past knowledge. Merging these insights with new technology and systems will be the foundation of the tomorrow's construction industry.

Through community, the sharing of resources and ideas, lets elevate and build the future of construction industry together.

The difficulty seems to be that a majority of construction owners do not have the time or resources to make this transition. For some it might be lack of technical knowledge, others sifting through all the options / possibilities. This is compounded with the constantly changing needs of growing businesses all the while most owners are doing the construction and all the paperwork. Its like trying to program the time on a vcr from the 80s, while trying to figure out how to hook up the xbox, satellite, computer, with only one screwdriver, while babysitting and try to figure out which of the 4 remotes you need to use… Can get overwhelming sometimes.

Construction and implementation of technology is radically changing how we view and do work. As in all change, there are many who resist, look away unable to comprehend what this will mean for them and their families. Like many revolutions, some people will win and some people will lose, there’ll be a change of power and thinking.

The winners [depending on your definition of success] will be the ones that can embrace this change in mindset. We should look at the successes of other industries and learn from them. See how it’s applicable to the construction industry. We have the opportunity today, to help shape and determine how this industry will progress. Together we can decide the fate of the industry and our lives.

This new way of thinking has already been adopted by many companies throughout the world including Silicon Valley. Their methodologies and mindset changes that impacted various industries, a lot of them already relating to technology or information services like the stock market and financial services. Industries that are rooted in more traditional fabrication or small sized service industries are only beginning to feel the effects. These traditional construction trades have been stable for many generations and are very resistance to this change due partly because of their history. They have stood the test of time, but that time is changing.
