The highly fragmented construction industry is experiencing a major transformation.
Although individual building components, such as walls, roofs and floors, are separate entities, each entity must still function as a part of a unified system. Because components are represented by different manufacturers and different independent companies, it is difficult for components to work compatibly to create a single system. Rapid advances in material science, changes in traditional delivery methods, more stringent building codes, and even the way traditional construction documents are prepared have all led to an age of exceptional transformation. These rapid changes can often lead to confusion when attempting to provide building solutions for a given project.
