developed and\u00a0developing countries and has a direct impact on global GDP. Even so, construction is recognized as\u00a0one of the least digitized sectors. According to a study by McKinsey, this industry is plagued by high\u00a0levels of inefficiency, with large construction projects typically exceeding 80 percent of their budget\u00a0and taking 20 percent longer than projected. And while the long-term benefits of new digital\u00a0technologies are significant, the construction sector has been slow to embrace these developments. Technological advances, the pandemic, increased competition, and the demand for shorter\u00a0construction times are, however, slowly but surely starting to transform the construction sector. And\u00a0it&#8217;s about time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4cbcad elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"

Even so, construction is recognized as one of the least digitized sectors. According to a study by McKinsey, this industry is plagued by high\u00a0levels of inefficiency, with large construction projects typically exceeding 80 percent of their budget\u00a0and taking 20 percent longer than projected. And while the long-term benefits of new digital\u00a0technologies are significant, the construction sector has been slow to embrace these developments. Technological advances, the pandemic, increased competition, and the demand for shorter\u00a0construction times are, however, slowly but surely starting to transform the construction sector. And\u00a0it&#8217;s about time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
