New technology hitting job sites isn't just making work more efficient and cost effective, many new innovations are designed to provide a more safe, eco-friendly, and convenient, comfortable working environment.
Challenges faced in the pandemic of 2020 have resulted in new ways of doing business across the globe in many sectors, including construction. Here is a look at some of the new technologies and practices that could benefit your construction company.
3D PRINTING
3D printing has quickly become a very officiant way companies move projects forward. 3D printing is used to build structures including bridges and overpasses. Many believe the technology will be the future of home building. As of yet, regulations and permits are holding 3D home building back. For now, modular homes are gaining popularity.
ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS
Renewables remain all the rage, so the construction industry continues to get in line. Regardless how you may feel about climate change and the crusade to save the planet from warming temperatures, the fact remains, everyone is compelled to comply. Green construction is more than just a buzz word, it's the way things are being produced now. There are many materials construction companies are reusing to get jobs done.
WEARABLES
Never before has it been so easy to have important information at the fingertips of workers on a construction site. The days of going back to a truck or an office to connect with crews or to obtain important data are quickly becoming part of the past. Now, everyone can get what they need from technology found in wearables.
Automatic information shared includes worker locations, working conditions, equipment status even real-time worker perspectives helping project managers see what their workers are seeing.
VR TECHNOLOGY
Virtual reality is used for more than just gaming. VR has become a part of the construction process. It helps prevent problems before construction begins and also provides a unique view than can open up new ideas.
ROBOTICS
Robotics are another way construction companies are getting work done faster and more efficiently. Construction firms with the budget can apply robotics to any task that can be automated.
CLOUD BASED TOOLS
Digital platforms are replacing paper as a way of reporting important information. Cloud based tools are digital, mobile, and they streamline operations dependent on data.
Cloud-based tools can incorporate a wide range of processes. This includes methods for data capture, planning and execution. This technology is still new in the construction arena, but is growing.
Knowing what technology exists is the start to implementing new systems into your business to better equipment your workers to get jobs done more efficiently, faster, and safer.
