We are living in the era of information technology and due to rapid advancements, it is making the work easier by minimizing cost, time and efforts. In every field of work as well as in the daily lives of people technology is playing an important role. It has become a necessity and people are addicted to it. Nobody can imagine a day without using information technology.

Use of information technology is a great help to businesses. Any organization big or small, new or old is opting for technology. The efficiency and effectiveness it gives cannot be matched working with manpower only. It reduces the cost of human resource by hiring fewer individuals

We have seen over the years that information technology has been introduced late in the construction industry as compared to any other industry. Developing countries faced many issues due to the low level of technological development in the construction industry. Due to the lack of technological advancements, such countries faced delay in the completion of their projects.

With the introduction of IT in the construction industry, it brought vast changes in this profession. The companies who have strong and latest technological developments installed are achieving remarkable results and hence spending more in their system and software updates. Expansions in technology are occurring all over the globe and transforming businesses to a great extent. There are some very important benefits that the construction industry can gain by using information technology. They are:

· Cost-effective solution by minimizing the workforce and very fewer chances of error.

· Easy sharing of data and information anytime anywhere with almost no chance of data loss or error.

· By using proper cybersecurity and data protection the chances of data theft and loss is almost zero by using information technology.

· Easy storage and accessibility of data rather finding each project’s details in the piles of files.

· Easy way of communication.

· The BIM (building information management) technology is making life easy for project managers and is playing an integral part in the construction industry.

· BIM technology comprises of many phases that are very helpful such as cost calculation, material required and its quantity, scheduling, maintaining the data of projects, etc.

· With the use of software technology different modeling structures can be made within a day by using different techniques which includes 3D, 4D, and 5D.

· The new modeling techniques provide a complete and detailed view and information to the clients with in-depth knowledge about the buildings. Previously these models were used to be made with hands in the form of a miniature model which was very time consuming as well as required cost and manpower

The construction industry is full of complexities and its infrastructure projects are big, difficult and costly. It is really necessary for this industry to follow the latest developments in technology and minimize the complexity as well as cost and risks involved. Today we have many technology tools, software integration, cloud security as well as mobile apps that are very beneficial for this industry. The construction companies just have to follow and implement the right system according to the needs and requirements in order to achieve success, best and timely results.
