This trend can prevent construction contractors from offering customers new approaches to construction that are advantageous for both parties. New technology is simply becoming a must for contractors, especially in the project bid process.

Industry studies confirm a large percentage of contractors are very interested in new technology; however, many of these same contractors will not invest in the new technologies their companies need.
