It’s certainly a known truth that construction sites are by definition going to be a complicated place, with constant changes and a lot of moving pieces.

At the same time, these complicating factors can be one of the major reasons why organizations can be relatively slow to adopt these tools, at least in comparison to other industries. The solutions that can be helpful are often fragmented and focusing only on certain aspects, which can often lead to better individual tools but also creates a need for a number of different solutions for one project, which can be its own headache in and of itself.
