About 10,000 years ago, in the Neolithic era, mankind made a revolutionary transition in its development, abandoning the nomadic lifestyle in favor of sedentary life, which led to the appearance of the first simple buildings made of clay, wood and stone. From this moment the history of the construction industry begins.

As civilizations developed, architecture became increasingly complex, leading to the first ritual temples and public buildings. This growth in the complexity of architectural designs required the engineers and managers of antiquity to create the first records and calculations. The first records inscribed on clay tablets and papyrus often included descriptions of the logic behind calculating the amount of building materials needed, their costs, and the calculation of wages for the work performed. Thus, the era of data utilization in construction was born.
