In late 2020, STACK conducted a survey to learn more about preconstruction technology trends.
Nearly 1,000 construction industry professionals shared their thoughts on things like:
How they use (and view) construction technology
What impacts they’ve seen from tech usage
Obstacles to adopting new software
Here’s what we learned…
Most companies don’t use project management software.

When it comes to project management, most companies don’t use any software or technology.
In fact, 56% use spreadsheets to track their projects. 26% use pen and paper.
However, more and more people are seeing the benefits of using construction technology. Easy-to-use platforms (like Raken) let you digitally manage your projects, even when you’re off-site. That way, you can keep an accurate record of your team’s progress. Remote updates also help you minimize physical contact—and make sure your teams stay safe with social distancing.
...But companies see construction tech as an opportunity to grow.

Although not all companies use construction apps (yet)...those who do, use them together.
51.7% of companies say they use 1–2 construction software apps at a time. 29.2% use 3–5 apps.
Why? Because construction professionals see technology as an opportunity to grow.
Of all respondents, 76.7% say software gives their company a strategic advantage. Point solutions, for example, specifically target one of your needs to save you time—on and off the jobsite. Building a tech stack to streamline all workflows (from reporting to safety) allows companies to create even more efficiencies and improve processes.
