Explore how payever accelerates growth in the construction industry

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has traditionally been slow to digitize and innovate.

Despite the growth of investment in the AEC tech ecosystem, the scale in the construction sector still needs to grow due to relatively low IT spending, adoption issues, and scaling challenges.

payever’s simple integration helps promote tech adoption, allowing construction firms to access digital solutions including payever Checkout and BFS B2B BNPL for payment methods, in addition to payever Transactions for centralized payment management.

Despite being one of the biggest industries in the world, architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) have been among the slowest ones to adopt digitalization and create innovation. However, this is changing fast as this sector is pushed to accelerate digital adoption due to pressure for data transparency and integration.


According to McKinsey’s report, the AEC tech ecosystem has witnessed a surge in investment and a significant wave of start-up launches. The industry recorded an estimated $50 billion in investments, or an 85% increase over the previous three years.


However, tech adoption and implementation in the construction sector has yet to reach the scale of other sectors, such as logistics, manufacturing, or agriculture. This slow implementation is reported to be triggered by multiple factors, including low IT spending compared to other industries.


Based on McKinsey’s research, efficient growth from the industry’s ability to grow annual recurring revenues (ARR) and generate free cash flow (FCF) from revenues is particularly tough to achieve for several reasons. Among them are adoption and scaling challenges.


According to the respondents in McKinsey’s survey, users tend to switch tools, platforms, or software between different projects. Sometimes, they need to adopt multiple tools depending on client preferences and staff changes. That factor thus becomes a challenge in driving tech adoption in a project business like construction.

The impact on integration and payment management

The construction sector’s sluggish embrace of digitalization poses major obstacles to integration and payment management. Construction projects typically involve various stakeholders (e.g., contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and clients) who depend on smooth communication and data sharing to minimize inefficiencies.


Furthermore, the lack of standardized tools in this industry exacerbates these issues. Many construction firms rely on outdated or incompatible software systems, making it difficult to consolidate financial data across projects. When clients or partners use different platforms, it can lead to errors in invoicing, misalignment in contract terms, and inconsistent cash flow management.


These inefficiencies are further compounded by the industry’s reliance on manual processes for tasks like tracking change orders, submitting invoices, and approving payments. These processes increase the risk of human error and slow down project timelines.
