The final countdown has started. Artificial intelligence, digital construction management, automated project tracking, and ESG compliance are no longer options but basic requirements. Where does the construction industry stand in integrating these tools? ConTech is not a goal but the key to long-term operability and competitiveness. The question is not whether we implement it but whether we are fast enough and attract the most talented professionals.
