The construction industry has been slow to embrace technological advancements.

Implementing technology in the construction industry has one major barrier: many construction workers do not welcome the change that comes with technology.

This article is part of a two-part guide with tips on how to get your construction team to embrace new technology.

Tip 2: There must be a training plan prior to purchasing and using the new software. The training plan should have two separate components: hands-on and online.

Whatever the medium, time must be allotted for training and continuous support to ensure your staff has an understanding of the software.
