This means less budget for expensive software tools - being more price-sensitive and looking for more affordable solutions. And this is data from two years ago; we are still waiting to see results from last year which was also challenging. 

With inflation rates rising constantly, the construction industry is likely to be heavily affected. During economic downturns architects, interior designers, and construction engineers, are one of the most affected professions. 

But these are also the times when they are most likely to learn a new skill and digitize their business for more efficiency. The same study also shows that more than 62% are willing to learn new 3D Modeling tools.

With 41 million users globally, SketchUp has proven to be one of the most accessible 3D modeling tools on the market - both in terms of price and in terms of its low learning curve.
