Intelligent Sourcing to Autonomous Sites: How AI is Redefining Construction
The engineering and construction (E&C) industry has historically lagged in digital adoption, ranking among the least digitized sectors globally. While industries such as manufacturing built robust digital backbones, construction remained anchored in legacy systems and labor-intensive practices. Avasant’s IT Spending Trends in Construction and Trade Services 2024 highlights that IT budgets in construction are not only smaller in proportion to revenue but also stretched thin across fragmented organizations and project-based models. For small and mid-sized contractors, the industry’s backbone, these constraints often limit investment in next-generation platforms.
