As global construction demand surges to record highs, new research from Revizto, the leading integrated collaboration platform for architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO), exposes a critical crossroads for the $13 trillion global industry. While investment in infrastructure, data centers, and public projects are booming, the construction industry is being increasingly threatened by mounting inefficiencies, spiraling budgets, and costly rework-challenges driven by outdated practices and disconnected technologies that hinder collaboration.
The inaugural global Bridging the Gap: 2025 Digital Design & Construction Report reveals a staggering 92% of global AECO professionals see significant budget changes during construction, despite contingency funds being built in. The most common increase is 11-20% above the original estimate, a reality faced by 42% in the US and 51% in the UK.
