If your company authors software for computer-assisted design of buildings, are you in the software industry or in the construction industry?

The first is what it might say on paper, the second is more honest and reflects the real business value.

Software industry, because the construction industry still requires a human to sign off and approve the computer-aided design.

There are companies which are involved with building and marketing their own software for the construction industry, but they are also actively involved in the construction process in a consultative capacity. Only then could they even be classified as construction industry companies.


Your industrial activity is authoring software, not constructing buildings.

I thought you may have been nitpicking previously but you’re just incorrect.
