It was clear from the Wednesday evening reception that everyone was happy to be back in person, seeing familiar faces, and meeting new ones. It was exciting to be back &#8216;live&#8217;!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was my first-time attending ENR FutureTech, and it was just the right mix of attendees, exhibitors, and presentations for a successful event. The ENR team kept both days moving on schedule and allowed just enough time for the session topics, and always allowed time for follow-up questions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference sessions all focused on how technologies can support the construction industry with recurring themes of: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open architecture for ease of data sharing <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collaboration between stakeholders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to support design and construction through the facility

class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that was clear to me is that there is no shortage of technology solutions to help solve construction industry problems, BUT some issues aren&#8217;t solved solely by purchasing new technology. The challenges remain with the proper selection, integration, implementation, and user adoption of these solutions. If you don&#8217;t use the darn thing, it doesn&#8217;t work.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project Partners is in the business of helping companies select, integrate, and implement technology solutions based on your specific business needs.
