Technological Gaps in Egypt’s Construction Sector

Despite robust growth, certain technological areas remain underdeveloped:

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

  • The adoption of BIM is limited, hindering efficient project planning, design, and management.
     

Construction Automation and Robotics

  • There’s a scarcity of automated machinery and robotics, affecting productivity and safety on construction sites.
     

Green Building Technologies

  • While there’s a push for sustainable development, the integration of green technologies and materials is still emerging.
     

Project Management Software

  • Utilization of advanced project management tools is not widespread, leading to challenges in project coordination and delivery.

Addressing these technological gaps presents opportunities for innovation and efficiency improvements within Egypt’s construction industry. For more information, please reach out to Ms. Rania Mekhail.
