#340 Overcoming innovation traps in construction companies

01 Aug 2025

Description

The BuiltSmart Hub podcast examines five common ‘innovation traps’ that hinder progress in the construction industry, a sector that is often resistant to change despite significant pressure. It highlights how a lack of strategic understanding, insufficient structural support for implementation and scaling, and operational overload can lead to ‘innovation fatigue’ among employees. In addition, the text addresses the pitfalls of introducing technologies without a clear functional purpose and the widespread fear among executives of losing control, which can subtly undermine innovation initiatives. Ultimately, the source argues that successful innovation in construction requires a holistic approach that encompasses strategy, robust structures, a supportive culture, and targeted technology integration, rather than relying solely on technological advances.
