Key Challenges in the AEC Industry
Project Delays
Keeping projects on schedule is vital, yet many solutions disrupt workflows rather than enhance them.
Cost Overruns
AEC firms need budget-friendly technology that supports sustainable outcomes without compromising quality.
Cybersecurity Risks
Data security is paramount, as firms face growing concerns over potential cyber threats.
Technological Integration
Integrating new tools into existing systems can be complex, especially with legacy infrastructure.
VendorLock-In
Firms require flexible solutions to avoid being restricted by a single technology provider.
Environmental Impact
Meeting green standards is increasingly important, but can be challenging within traditional construction practices.
