According to Anderson, The fear is that technology applications will replace professionals in the construction industry, however, from his perspective he sees that as highly unlikely because most construction today includes redevelopment and build-outs. “A great amount of work in the construction industry is not new construction. It is renovations and placing spaces within existing spaces, which will need somebody to have an eyeball for it and come up with a concept for that space,” he said.
