Digital technologies will soon become a necessity rather than an option for staying competitive.
Innovate or Stagnate: The Digital Challenge of Construction in Quebec
In Quebec, the construction industry is recognized for its economic significance, but also for its slow pace of innovation and technology adoption.Like other sectors often viewed as traditional and conservative, the digital shift is being embraced at a slower pace by players resistant to change.
A Competitive Opportunity to Seize
While many companies continue operating without embracing innovation, others stand out by recognizing the necessity of adopting technology to gain a competitive edge. Gradually, we observe a growing implementation of smart tools designed to automate tasks and streamline processes, making life easier for workers. To name a few, we are witnessing the use of robotics, use of artificial intelligence, virtual or augmented reality, and data processes or treatments enhanced by artificial intelligence.
The adoption of these solutions aims to boost efficiency and productivity both on-site and in the office. The increasing presence of such technologies reflects a growing awareness among construction entrepreneurs of the need to maintain leadership in an industry where competitiveness increasingly hinges on embracing extraordinary innovations. Therefore, it is crucial for construction companies to stay on top of the best solutions to meet their needs. Without overhauling their entire operations, they should ask themselves: “Where should we prioritize changes to make a tangible improvement in our activities?
Don’t Settle for “It Works,” Strive for Improvement
While certain methods or tools may be “good enough,” limiting yourself to acceptable performance can be a mistake. Companies that stand out choose solutions that truly optimize their efficiency and give them an edge over the competition.
For a new tool to be fully adopted, clear processes and personalized support from experts are essential to ensure a smooth transition.
