That’s the net-net of a survey by McGraw-Hill Construction, reported here. I’m hoping that link is still active — MHC sometimes posts articles for a short while and then hides them behind a paid firewall. IT IS WORTH A READ!!!
From the article:
More than 260 readers weighed in on a question that asked which technologies would be in wide use in construction and how soon? As the graphic below explains, 73.3% expect real-time performance tracking to be in common use within five years, followed by 18% who expect to see it adopted widely within a decade.
About 46% identified wearable computing and pervasive computing systems as just around the corner, while some 33% say it will be closer to 10 years before their use is widespread. Some 20% of the 260 replies voted for autonomous machinery and robotics as the next widespread tool on jobsites in five years.
When asked how much data interaction and technology use will influence productivity, 50% (130) of survey respondents said it would enhance productivity only slightly; however, 33% (87) said the changes would enhance productivity greatly. The rest chose “inhibit greatly,” “inhibit slightly” or “no effect.”
