‘I’m in conversations all the time, whether or not it’s a new client that’s asking for, you know, 100 plus KW per rack… it’s pushing us to innovate pretty hard.’.
Working with technology in new and exciting ways helps with the industry’s broader image.In addition to our well-known problems with inefficient processes and insufficient output, the construction industry faces other, compounding issues - namely, a serious skills shortage and an aging workforce.
As a result, it’s vitally important that we begin to encourage young people to come and join us.We must highlight the fact that new technologies are possible in construction, and make sure that such technologies play a key role in how we design and construct..The construction industry should be a place where young digital natives can come and use their skills and passion for technology to do something meaningful to help tackle the climate crisis.
