Introduction

Construction Software Statistics: Construction software encompasses a range of digital tools designed to enhance efficiency and collaboration across various stages of construction projects.

Key types include project management, Building Information Modeling (BIM), cost estimation, accounting, field management, contract management, and procurement software.

These tools automate tasks, improve communication, and provide accurate reporting, leading to cost savings and better risk management.

Recent trends highlight a shift towards cloud-based solutions, mobile compatibility, and the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Which are expected further to drive innovation and efficiency in the construction industry.

The construction sector employed over *** million people in the United States in April 2025, which was the highest number since the 21st century. There is a strong correlation between the amount of investment in construction and demand for workers. For example, in the years following the 2008 financial crisis, the value of new construction put in place in the U.S. decreased, which also translated in lower employee numbers in the construction sector. How to improve the job shortage? Many contractors have reported difficulty finding skilled workers recently. However, that has not only been the case in the construction industry, but in many other sectors of the economy too. For example, U.S. restaurants reported shortages in different positions in the past years. Although there are many reasons why workers may quit, in general, an increase in the salaries of construction employees may help in reducing the number of resignations. Worker shortages in Europe The United States is not the only country where companies have been facing these challenges. Thus, the percentage of French infrastructure companies reporting staff shortage peaked in 2019 and 2023. However, there are certain industries that struggle finding new employees more than construction. Social and care work had the highest skilled labor shortages in Germany.
