Kingspan : 5 innovations revolutionising the construction industry

New technologies are constantly changing the face of modern construction. New, faster processes are superseding the older ones and paving the way towards a futuristic reality.
But why is this occurring? Why are innovations and new technologies beginning to change the once stagnant procedures of construction?
Growth in emerging markets, especially in developing countries, is set to skyrocket within the next 10 years. This will lead to increased development within the construction sector with an emphasis being placed on multi-purpose high-rises and skyscrapers.
