Industrialization is a crucial strategy for increasing the productivity and sustainability of construction. I sat down with Tomi Pitk?ranta, Head of Concept and Partnerships at Sitedrive, to discuss how the company’s products help contractors systematize and industrialize production.

Pitk?ranta emphasizes that Sitedrive has a contractor pedigree and productivity-focused R&D background. Remarkably, two contractors, Fira and Skanska, were involved in its development. Sitedrive’s value claims are also backed by peer-reviewed research. All this makes it stand out from the competition.
