Construction technology company Procore has released a report detailing the trends it expects to shape the construction industry over the next decade. Drawing on a survey of more than 1,200 construction decision-makers across eight countries, alongside expert analysis, the Future State of Construction Report outlines the accelerating impact of technology, workforce changes, and data-driven decision-making. One of the central findings is the growing role of AI and automation in addressing long-standing inefficiencies. According to Procore, 18% of project time is currently lost to data retrieval, while rework accounts for a further 28% of wasted effort. Over half of industry leaders (55%) expect automation to disrupt construction practices within five years, as AI-powered tools for preconstruction and planning gain adoption.
