Developments in technology
Industry is driven, in part, by developments in technology and
construction is no exception. Technology in the construction
industry brings about positive change — cost effectiveness,
increased efficiency and safer projects. However, technology also
means new concepts, new products and new processes, all of which
bring about new legal risk. The Canadian Construction Association
thinks that when compared to their international counterparts,
Canadian contractors are falling behind on the development and
acquisition of cost-saving technologies. That doesn’t mean
that change isn’t coming — it is and Canadian
construction sector companies should be prepared.
