This approach has proved crucial in an industry that is typically slow to adopt the latest trends in digitisation . Bucking the trend , PCL has been focused on developing this aspect of its operations for over 30 years . From homegrown estimating software to staff management applications , the company has striven to be an active participant in the change , rather than merely reacting to it . According to Bryant , there is a reason for this . “ The construction industry historically has been underserved by the software development community . As one of the oldest industries in the world , a lot of practices in construction haven ’ t changed .” Due to the nature of the work , which requires a vast amount of manual processes to function , cvonstruction has been among the last industries to embrace the digital revolution .
