The construction industry is an evolving industry that continues to make strides towards technological advancement. This project aimed to identify the main challenges and potential advancements in the construction industry. As the project progressed, more interviews were conducted which identified higher priority problems. Rankings were established based on the occurrence and importance of the problems discussed in the first few rounds of interviews. Ultimately, our final project topic was based on feasibility, the consumer need, and potential impact to the industry. As a result of this research, the startup Pallyt was formed. The goal of this service is to provide a convenient, cost-effect way to get much-needed construction materials in a timely manner.
