At it's core construction's fragmentation problem is because each project is unique, forming its own combination of organisations, designs, processes, and objectives. This leads to a highly complex and fragmented process—whether it’s simple projects using familiar materials or intricate facilities with multiple interacting systems. On top of technological complexity, mid-to-large-sized projects also face significant organisational complexity, as each involves tens, hundreds or even thousands of specialised participants. Given this complexity, it’s no surprise that many projects struggle to deliver on time, within budget, and according to spec. Some point to vertical integration as the solution. Katerra, for example, sought to control the entire supply chain to solve these industry-wide challenges. However, I’ve always been skeptical. While vertical integration works in some industries, construction is simply too complex and localised to fully integrate at scale. And even if it were to succeed, it may do in more repetitive and smaller projects that relate to residential and office-based development. But the majority project typologies, especially infrastructure and complex builds, involve too many region-specific factors and specialised needs to be handled by one company alone. Katerra's eventual bankruptcy is a testament to this challenge. Instead of vertical integration, I always believed there are lessons to be learned from the Toyota model. Rather than trying to be vertically integrated, Toyota fosters close relationships through equity stakes in key suppliers, encouraging collaboration through target-cost models. For example, their "Just-In-Time" system focuses on minimising inventory and optimising capital. The solution to construction's complexity is not vertical integration but twofold: • Alternative procurement models with aligned incentives • Seamless #information flow across the supply chain • World-class coordination In an industry as complex as construction, vertical integration may not be the answer but , collaboration and transparency can be the key to solving the industry’s problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------- P.S. Over the next few weeks, I'll be posting my learnings and opinions from 6 years of running Morta in the lead-up to our virtual community day on November 25th. We'll be joined by 20+ of the most inspiring people in the industry who are building a digital construction industry brick by brick.

Construction has a reputation for being slow to embrace new technologies and update its practices. This resistance may stem ... from deep-rooted cultural and structural barriers. Breaking free from these traditional methods isn't just a choice; it's a necessity. Embracing change and innovation can drive significant competitive advantages. Imagine a project where outdated processes are replaced with efficient, technology-driven solutions. The results? → Faster completion times. → Reduced costs. → A happier, more productive workforce. Why do we resist change? → Cultural Barriers: Many companies have a long history of doing things a certain way. Change can be seen as a threat to this tradition. There is often a belief that the old ways are the best ways, leading to reluctance to try new methods. → Structural Barriers: Organisational structures can be rigid, making it difficult to implement new technologies. The hierarchical nature of many construction companies can slow down decision-making processes and stifle innovation. → Economic Barriers: Initial costs of implementing new technologies can be high. Many companies are hesitant to invest in new systems without a clear understanding of the long-term return on investment. The advantages of adopting new technologies can significantly outweigh the challenges. Those who are open to change may find opportunities to enhance their competitiveness in the market. But how? → BIM allows for digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility. How can this technology enhance collaboration among architects, engineers, and contractors? → Embracing green building materials and sustainable practices can reduce environmental impact. What steps can companies take to make sustainability a core part of their projects? → Augmented Reality can provide real-time, interactive visualisation of construction projects, helping teams to identify potential issues before they arise. How can AR be used to enhance project planning and execution? In this ever-evolving world, the construction industry can't afford to lag behind. Technological advancements offer benefits that can improve project management and execution. The reluctance to change is understandable, but the risk of falling behind is much greater. To stay competitive, we need to critically assess current processes and explore how new technologies can be integrated. This means investing in training, starting small with pilot projects, and continuously seeking areas for improvement. #Construction #DigitalConstruction #ConstructionTechnology #ConstructionSoftware

What are the consequences of fragmented technology in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction? It's not uncommon for AEC professionals to use 5, 6, or even 10+ different platform tools to tie together all the moving pieces for team communication, contractor management, project phase oversight, and project budgeting. This fragmented technology in the AEC industry can lead to significant consequences such as communication breakdowns, data inconsistencies, project delays, and cost overruns. When different teams within a project use disparate tech tools that do not integrate seamlessly, it can hinder collaboration and decision-making processes. Furthermore, the lack of a unified platform can result in errors and inefficiencies, impacting overall project quality and client satisfaction. In the next section, we will explore these consequences in more detail and discuss how implementing a cohesive tech solution can mitigate these challenges. Image Credit: @mainermedia via Unsplash
