Myths about the construction industry Revealing the truth.

The construction industry is one of the main pillars of a country’s development, and yet, as in any field, there is misinformation and misconceptions created over the years.

 

We thought this article would be the ‘place and the moment’ to dispel some of the most heard myths about this industry by shedding some ‘light’ on the truth.

 

Construction is purely manual work. Construction is a complex of skills intertwined with each other, where each of them has its own importance and cannot work separately. It is one of those industries where precision and craftsmanship are essential.

 

Starting a construction company is easy. Like any business, many construction companies fail to have longevity in the industry. Not from a lack of experience, but from a lack of understanding of what is really required to manage a company. Finding the right projects, managing people, money, bureaucracies, etc. are aspects that determine the continuity of a company’s success.

 

Construction companies take shortcuts. When dealing with companies that already have a reputation, mistakes are costly, so they have no choice but to prioritize quality, safety, high-end materials and skilled labor in order to maintain their name and the lifespan of the company itself.

 

There is no need for creativity in construction. Far from being mundane, construction is a combination of technical expertise, artistic vision and problem-solving skills. Architects, engineers and builders collaborate to bring creative designs to life, turning them into architectural masterpieces. A dynamic and creative industry where innovation thrives and every project is an opportunity to create something special.
