Industry trends
The site preparation contractors industry (NAICS 23891) has been experiencing several significant qualitative trends. A major trend is the increasing adoption of advanced technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). These technologies enhance accuracy in planning and executing projects, leading to increased efficiency and cost reductions. Additionally, there's a growing emphasis on sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.
