Qatar has an expanding manufacturing industry and myriad construction projects. There is growing road congestion due to the increase in the country’s population which leads to Negative Production Externalities, “a cost that is suffered by a third party as a result of an economic transaction”.
Throughout the construction industry, technology plays a role to help ease the completion of a project to all of the parties involved. The amount of technology application in the industry supports the belief that technology has a positive impact on project productivity. One of the main materials used in the construction industry that surrounds us every day, in which we overlook, is concrete. Concrete is an art form, in which it takes time and talent in order for it to be used efficiently, to produce its high strength and longevity. However, the downfall of this material is that it is extremely costly and nearly impossible to form it to an aesthetically pleasing surface. In spite of this, what if I told you that there is hope?

It is not to say that economic and social issues are less important, but merely that they are outside our attention.
