Use drones, modeling, and digital tools to plan and build smarter.
Construction technology roles use digital tools to plan, coordinate, and build smarter: drones for site mapping, BIM and 3D modeling for coordination, laser scanning, and software for estimating and scheduling. You bridge the office and the field.
It is a fast-growing side of the industry for people who like construction and technology, from BIM technicians and VDC coordinators to estimators and field engineers.
Construction technology is entered through technical college and university programs in construction management, BIM/VDC, and related fields, plus on-the-job training and software certifications. Pathways range from certificates to two- and four-year degrees, and demand is climbing as jobsites go digital. Georgia offers several ways in, including programs through the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) and state universities.
Construction technology spans several roles — BIM technicians, estimators, VDC coordinators, field engineers — so pay varies widely. These are approximate Georgia figures.
