The issue of web app VS mobile app is one of the hottest topics of debate in almost every industry for many years. Web apps have played a significant role in the construction industry since the industry adopted tech. While the web has improved the construction process, implementation of tech should be a part of a broader strategic platform. According to World Economic Forum, “Wherever the new technologies have properly supported the industry, the outlook is an almost 20 percent reduction in total life cycle costs of a project, as well as substantial improvements in completion time, quality, and safety.”

Above all, the most widely adopted of all new technologies are mobile devices. The easy-to-use apps allow workers to share, access and document important project information while they are on the job site. It is trusted that the future of mobile will be to manage with devices entirely. Producers of building materials are continually looking options to digitize their process of production and distribution. And on the other side, the construction industry is determined to digitize their construction, planning, and logistics.
