Howick, the New Zealand based manufacturer of light steel roll-forming technology, recently undertook a global construction software survey. The results of the survey are now available, providing valuable insights into the brands of software in use, how those tools are being used and how they might be improved for the benefit of users.
The survey was completed by 242 leaders in the construction industry. It explored the overall usage of construction technologies like framing automation and CNC-driven technology. It looked at how the take-up of software changed by sector. Then it delved into specific categories, including architectural design, MEP design, framing detailing, engineering analysis, cloud-based BIM and the usage of 2D and 3D technology.
