The emergence of modern technology plays a huge change in our daily life. In this
age of the modern world, many construction companies and builders are
continuously exploring the latest technologies in the construction sector. This
helps to improve the quality, strength of the building and the safety of the
workers who work in the construction field. Over the years, technology has
successfully attempted to enter our bodies and change the way of thinking. If
we look back throughout the construction industry’s history, we notice some great advancements have taken place.
1. Mobile
Technology
As
mobile technology developed, the use of mobile phones and tablets in the construction sector is also increased.
The building plans in the paper sheets are replaced by tablets and mobile
devices. This creates more accuracy in the measurements and plans. Also, this
helps clear and accurate 3D visual effects. The mobile technology allows
immediate communication between the workers and also with the contractors to
clear any doubts in the construction site.
2.Modular,
Prefabricated construction Projects
Prefabricated construction is the process of assembling several structural components at a production site and moving these sub-assemblies to the construction site location. In this year 2019, many construction companies are using this technic; it helps the construction work faster. In the next years, this technology becomes more common to us. With this technology in the construction approach, time, cost, and labor are dramatically reduced.
3.BIM -
Building Information Modeling
Building
Information Modeling (BIM) is a smart moral basis system that brings together
professionals from AEC (architecture,
engineering, and construction). So they can more efficiently be designed
and operate building structures to BIM. This industry is the most exciting
recent developments. An accurate virtual model of a building is digitally
constructed; this accurate virtual model of the building is known as a building information model (BIM). It helps architects, engineers, and builders to
visualize what to build in a simulated environment to identify any potential
design, construction, or operational issues.
4.Virtual/Augmented
reality
The next phase of 3D modeling is a virtual reality in the building. It involves a
detailed virtual project model like 3D modeling. It places the user directly
inside the virtual environment, unlike 3D modeling, so that the user
experiences a complete immersion into the virtual space. Augmented reality, or
short AR, is one of the most talked-about construction technology trends. With
augmented reality, contractors can highlight new features within the project.
This helps the construction companies can easily explain about
the project with its customers.
5.Robotics
A new
World Economic Forum report suggests that by the end of the next decade, more
than half a million jobs will be replaced by robots. In the construction
industry, there are a few different types of building robots that are ready to
break mass-scale into the construction market. At first, the
invention of a 3D printing robot makes a slice change in the construction
sector. Even after the invention of construction robots for
brick-laying and masonry. Such types of robots significantly increase construction work
speed and quality. When construction companies try to automate
more and more activities in the interests of efficiency and productivity, the
demand for construction robots will steadily increase.
6.Drones
in the Construction
Drones are doing more than improving communication and helping to keep monitor of projects. Using drones in the construction sites increase safety, save time and resources, track quickly and provide accurate measurements. Also, with the help of drone; Engineers can,
- Monitor every corner of the
construction site.
- Monitor multiple job sites from
one location.
- Showing Job Progress to Clients.
- Monitor every worker’s safety
7. Construction Management Software
Construction management software is a platform for project management that assists businesses in processes such as budget management, communication, decision-making, and job planning. The benefits of construction management software include:
- Management Made Easier
- Document Management: It can
perfectly store all documents and files.
- Helps to control the budget:
Reduce project errors.
- Quality Improvement: The CMS helps
to improve construction security, which reduces project delays and promote communication, which avoids costly errors.
8. Green
Technology
Simply,
green technology involves producing new buildings that incorporate one or more
aspects of environmentally friendly solutions in the construction industry. The operating costs of green buildings are
more economical than the regular ones.
9. Better
safety Equipment’s
While
comparing office jobs works in the construction industry is not the safest
job. Today, with the emerging trends in the construction industry, many new technologies are developed. With
the development of new technologies in the construction industry, safety
measures are also improved. New mobile apps and computer programmers are
developed to monitoring the safety of each worker in the construction site.
Conclusion
The year 2019 is a wonderful year for the field of construction companies. The emerging construction trends in
construction plays an instrumental role throughout 2020. As when the
construction industry is constantly evolving, to remain competitive, it is
essential to remain up-to-date with these trends.
