Changes Technology Has Brought To Construction

Many millions of years ago, the invention of the wheel brought about a revolution that pulled humanity out of its stagnant ways of thinking and propelled it into an everlasting journey of self-improvement. Technology may not look the same today as it did then, but its goal has always remained the same – to improve quality of life. Construction design has seen many technological changes over the years, some that stuck, many that didn’t, but all spectacular examples of human innovation!

Let’s take a look at some of the most successful examples of modern technologies used across design, engineering and construction agencies today, and how they have revolutionized the infrastructure around us!

Automation & AI

Machine learning and AI have created indispensable automation processes across the construction sphere. Whether it’s using drone based cloud point data for BIM designs, automated mining tools for raw material gathering or reducing feasibility report times by weeks – AI has already made its mark in construction. AI is here to stay!

Environmentally Friendly

3D modeling is not restricted to construction designers! In fact, supplier side 3D modeling of building elements such as bricks and beams has allowed construction firms to identify new material types, ones that offer the same tensile strength at a fraction of the cost and most importantly – with least impact to the environment! Eco-friendly 3D building designs are being used extensively by socially conscious construction agencies.

Low Energy Consumption

Use of reflective paints and surfaces across indoor and outdoor designs alike instigated building of projects with naturally regulated temperatures. Which in turn, lead to designs with low energy consumption and massive savings for customers!

Waste Elimination

Building Information Modeling (BIM) and 3D building designs have effectively put an end to wasteful building practices! By identifying construction requirements through immersive 3D design software, construction designers can plan for exact material quantities and implement eco-friendly design practices to cut down on waste caused by excess.

Monitoring

Motion sensing and live tracking through apps, now allows project managers to remotely monitor productivity and assess safety risks on site. This technology can also be used to assign tasks on priority and distribute manpower when and wherever needed.

Big Data Trends

We generate a myriad of data daily! This information is sifted through by big data algorithms, whose sole purpose is to identify patterns and predict trends. Construction design firms have been using such algorithms to pinpoint best selling designs, discover redundant practices and optimize building processes.

Estimates

The amazing level of detail provided by BIM designs has made it possible to not only estimate material costs accurately but also stipulate project completion times! On-budget, on-time project delivery is now the norm!

Construction design continues to evolve by leaps and bounds every year! It’s time to get in touch with an organization in sync with these futuristic design trends and practices! It’s time to get in touch with Technostruct!
