Technology Adoption to drive Construction Industry
The construction industry has the potential to adopt high-tech methods and solutions which could lead to a win-win situation for all the stakeholders - customers, contractors, architects, and even the workforce - in a post-Covid world.

The pervasive gloomy situation that has spread in all possible realms of life due to the Corona virus pandemic has only strengthened the great old saying ‘necessity is the mother of invention’ - be it the improved capabilities of IT professionals to work from home, increased usage of online learning/conferences/webinar or a major push to Make in India (a valid example is set up of more than two lakh enterprises to manufacture PPEs!). In fact, many industries have invented ways to not just adapt to the changing times but also proliferate their businesses. Hence, it is only apt to say that for the construction industry in India (in which technology intervention has been comparatively slow and less disruptive), a booming future in a post-Covid era is possible if the status quo is challenged through a paradigm shift.
