Show Notes
Peggy Smedley and Dan Horner, managing director of Dar/Sidara UK, talk about why productivity and innovation in the construction industry is not the same as other industries. He says some people say innovation in the construction industry ended with the hammer, although he doesn't believe that is true.
They also discuss:
- Research from the Economist that shows construction ranked 21 out of 22 relative to other industries.
- New innovations such as AI (artificial intelligence)—and how they might change the construction industry as a whole.
- Two examples of historical innovations and the lag from initial invention and the ultimate speed of change.
