Three Trends in Construction Industry

Drones can be utilized as on-site security tools to minimize labor costs and lower the risk of theft to keep projects on track and reduce hindrances.

Fremont, CA: As construction costs and labor shortages continue, the construction industry faces the issue of innovating new ideas and rigid regulations contributing to a lower margin for mistakes and waste.

The COVID-19 pandemic is transforming how the construction industry conducts businesses. Current technologies are enhancing the capacity to improve projects and increase profit margin. Here are three trends in the construction industry:

Augmented Reality (AR)

Augmented Reality helps clients with inefficient project staging and make pre-construction projects tangible for buyers and tenants. It also assists in using wearable technology and 360-degree video to allow 3D visualization of future projects on the surrounding environment, automate measuring of buildings, safety training, hazard simulation, and quick and cost-friendly simulation of architectural and structural changes.

Efficient Technology

Technology in construction optimizing efficiency is a significant differentiator for builders and developers. The pandemic has increased the dependence on construction technology such as smart contracts and construction drones.

Smart contraction provides a shared system to conduct business for organizations in a project. Companies can utilize smart contacts as an all-in-one tracking system where rules and deadlines are set, and blockchain deploys them. The system helps faster closeouts, enhanced security, improved project tracking, and automated supply chain.

Advanced drone software offers real-time, actionable data for faster decision making, simplifying the overall construction process.

Drones can carry out tasks instead of human employees to avoid injury. It can also be utilized as on-site security tools to minimize labor costs and lower the risk of theft to keep projects on track and reduce hindrances.

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Building information technology (BIM) enables industry leaders to improve efficiency and helps users produce computer renderings of buildings and utilities. Managing these models and sharing data can help prefabricate superior parts, resulting in on-time and precise completion.
