Construction is one of the most world’s largest industries but it is dated as it relies on tools developed decades ago. While many architects and related professionals design digitally, the construction is still manual, which is the root cause of inefficiencies in the industry.
There are reports suggesting that almost 20% of every construction project results in rework. Eventually, this leads to a lot of waste and reduces the overall margin. To rule out this issue, the construction industry has started taking the digitisation path by embracing software tools, robotics, and other technologies.
Several robotics startups in Europe have started developing robots focused on the construction industry to resolve the challenges faced by manual labour and make the industry more efficient. Here is a list of construction robotics startups in Europe as sourced from Dealroom.
