From recent events, to newsletters, and speaking with a couple of #BCconstruction company leaders, it's clear AI is making inroads. As we've noted, and is reinforced in this article "simply deploying GenAI without a clear strategy or measurable objectives will only lead to more roadblocks and further disillusionment.”  https://lnkd.in/dAUuQSNn? Where are you in terms of adopting AI for your business? Let's talk about it https://lnkd.in/gtH8nYHS #ITservices #ITsupport

Offsite construction 🏭 offers major safety advantages over traditional methods! However, the impact can vary across different countries. Despite progress, construction still experiences a significant number of injuries, lost-time accidents, and fatalities. The 2018 Report on Work Fatality and Injury Rates revealed that in Canada alone, there were 204,682 loss-time injuries reported in 2016. According to Construction Canada, offsite construction is gaining popularity in Canada 🇨🇦 due to its ability to improve efficiency on job sites, address labor shortages, and meet tight project timelines. By using prefabrication methods, the overall risk and exposure are significantly reduced.
