WEBINARS & PODCASTS

Speakers: Bill Wagner, President at STRUXI and Penta Technologies, Inc. & Stephanie Brown, Founder of Intelligent Construction Opportunities

Construction is a hands-on industry that requires the finely honed skills of craftsmen and women to get the work done, a fact that hasn’t ever changed.

However, as the world changes, construction falls further behind other industries when it comes to labor-productivity growth and technological adoption. If construction companies want to survive, they must bring a brick-and-mortar business model into the digital age.

There is a big problem facing the construction industry: not enough skilled workers to fill a growing demand. Construction companies need to do more with less time, less money and most importantly, fewer boots on the ground.

In this session, we’ll introduce you to the digital solutions that can help companies mitigate the workforce shortage with an eye on innovating how work is done on the job site.

Speakers: Bill Wagner, President at STRUXI and Penta Technologies, Inc. and Ryan Hale, CIO and Director of Strategic Initiatives at Lithko Contracting

Construction as an industry hasn’t kept pace with technology, and companies will reach a tipping point where they must adopt new technologies, or they will lose out to tech-savvy construction conglomerates.
