The AEC industry is investing in technology—but readiness remains strikingly low. According to our latest industry research, the answer is clear: overall technology readiness remains low. The median readiness score across firms is just 26 out of 100, underscoring substantial opportunity—and urgency—for strategic advancement.
This webinar will present key findings from the report, including performance benchmarks across firm sizes and the dimensions that most influence readiness. While Technology Infrastructure shows measurable progress, other indicators, including Culture and Innovation (21 percent median) and Technology Advancement (16 percent median), are lagging
Join our speakers, Joe Bates and Markus Weidner, for a conversation unpacking the findings of the benchmarking survey of engineering firms based on region, size, and other characteristics.
Attendees will gain:
- A clear benchmark of industry-wide technology readiness
- Insight into how firm size influences digital capability
- Analysis of infrastructure progress versus cultural and innovation gaps
- Strategic considerations for strengthening long-term competitiveness
Presenters: Joe Bates, ACEC Research Institute and Markus Weidner, Pennoni
