For many companies and industries, information technology is central to business models, and success is heavily linked with it, such as Facebook and Ebay.

However, for companies in other industries, such as the construction industry, the connection between IT and success is not as clear.

Other construction companies in Calgary are not as progressive. The construction industry is centered around constructing buildings and other structures.

So what use does a construction company have for IT?
How should a construction company factor IT into its budget?

In terms of uses for IT, there are several key ways that construction companies can use it.

1. Certain software programs can be used to help generate 3D models for building projects in the design and planning stages.

2. IT can also be used in the construction industry for electronic data tracking, word processing, and several other important functions.

Technology Budgets in Construction
![Page 14: IT and the Construction Industry](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042723/58f069e51a28ab17798b45a1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Large portions of construction project budgets go towards materials, construction worker salaries, insurance, equipment, etc.

However, designating a portion of the budget for IT may actually help construction companies increase their project success rate.

As technology continues to develop, this may be even more true. For example, drone footage on construction sites may become standard.

The goal of construction projects is to create a great structure, under budget, without having to rebuild it due to errors.

IT is just one more way that construction companies can do these things. Thus, there is a strong argument that IT costs should be included in budgets for construction projects.
