Architectural engineering and construction (AEC) software is used throughout the designing process of a building. The software helps improve the efficiency of construction as well as provides 2D and 3D simulation models to end-users for indepth analysis. AEC helps reduce the capital cost and construction time of buildings. It includes both software and services for the construction of large and complex residential, industrial, and commercial buildings. The major users of this software include architects, contractors, engineers, and owners.In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario and future prospects of the global AEC market for 2017-2021.
