Construction & Property
Helping companies identify, understand, and respond to changing trends, business models, and opportunities in a rapidly evolving landscape
Introduction
With rapid advances in technology and the advent of cloud based solutions, the way construction and property firms work and interact has drastically changed. Technology innovation has led industries to continually strive to be more efficient, productive and cost effective. Yet, when it comes to the world of construction and property, investment in IT has remained low in comparison to other industries. The market has been hampered by technical challenges relating to projects that can be large, complex and geographically dispersed. Combined with varying proficiency and maturity levels of smaller subcontractors, advancing at scale has been difficult and has subsequently led to the slow progress of the digitisation of the construction industry.
Despite these challenges, the technology available to construction firms has advanced rapidly and we are now starting to see examples of how advances in digital technology can deliver efficiency and productivity opportunities at the start of all projects – truly revolutionising the construction sites of the past. Drones, robotics, 3D printing and augmented reality are no longer works of fiction but can be adopted by forward thinking firms looking to capitalise on the benefits that embracing innovation can bring to the construction site. All of these innovations require high quality, reliable internet network resources to function and deliver benefit in the field.
One major sticking point when adopting digital innovation is the challenge to deliver a secure, and resilient internet connection which can be established quickly at a new site to ensure a lack of connectivity does not negatively impact projects.

Construction and Property Industry Challenges
Technology challenges faced by construction and property businesses:
Ever increasing ransomware attacks and data breaches target proprietary data including project designs, bid information, materials pricing, employee data, financial records and more.
With the rise of technology adoption within property and construction, there is a challenge in providing instant internet connectivity on site that provides a solid foundation for smart technology adoption.
As construction companies increasingly rely on technology to manage and complete building projects, they’ll also need to build a security plan in order to keep their data safe & respond to breaches.
For those who aren’t tech savvy, the myriad of new construction technology can be intimidating. Introducing new technology into the mix can be met with resistance and slows adoption.
Many construction businesses struggle to invest or implement new technology so it’s not surprising that a global report from McKinsey Globe Institute recognised construction as the second least digitalised sector in the world.
Delivering high performance wireless negates, or reduces, the need and expense of installing expensive ethernet cabling throughout a property, saving tenants and the property owners money and time.
