In an era increasingly dominated by AI and automation, it’s still incredible just how much construction work remains manual. The contrast is most stark in data centers – facilities built to power cutting-edge technology, but whose delivery is generally still slowed down by major fragmentation and time-consuming manual tasks.

Project managers can spend countless hours walking sites, checking completed work and coordinating contractors operating to different schedules. When documentation falls behind, small issues can go unnoticed and eventually develop into costly delays.
