Contech: The Built Environment

INTRODUCTION

Construction and real estate have traditionally been related but distinct industries. The boundaries between the two, and also building management and maintenance will become increasingly blurred, as radical changes in construction impacts the underlying economics of real estate. A range of technologies will enable us to do things differently, but also compel us to do different things.

The emerging landscape is one of new techniques, new collaborations and radical change. Traditional roles are secondary to what organisations have the capacity, resource, desire and strategy to accomplish. Fundamental though to protect and grow revenue streams is a technology strategy that embraces every aspect of innovation.
