As time passes by, new technology advances are taking place in the construction industry, allowing the shape of construction to grow bigger and stronger.
In the early ages, the structure built was simple and were made from stones and mud, just for shelter from harsh climates without using any types of equipment.
But now, everyone wants a beautiful home using all types of building materials like stones, glass, timber, metals, concrete etc. That’s how for saving time and also to add beauty to the structures, new construction technology is emerging day by day.
What is Construction Technology?
   It is nothing but the collection of digital applications, innovative tools, machinery, Software’s, etc. used during the construction process. Using technology enables progression in field construction methods, including semi-automated and automated construction methods. Technology has allowed us to tackle complex projects and also made construction sites safer and workers more productive.
Types of Construction Technology you need to know:
   The cutting-edge technologies are drastically impacting the old ways of construction operations and also upcoming future projects. Here’s a look at some of the prime technology techniques that will make the industry completely changed.
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
   AI & ML can help to make better decisions, increase safety & productivity, improve workflows, and reduce risks. With the help of AI & ML systems, construction companies can predict future outcomes on projects and also gain a competitive advantage on construction projects while estimating and bidding.
AI helps to track the workers day by using smart wearables, and by using field and automatic observations, it can alert workers and managers on the site to potential risks. It also quickly detects deviations in installations and identifies errors to avoid reworks.
With all the advanced technology features, AI could come to play a substantial role in the construction industry in future.
Mobile Technology
Increasing usage of smartphones day by day, apps are becoming more popular in construction too. Integrating mobile technology into current projects can provide the ability to work from anywhere.
It helps save time and provides real-time updates and accesses the latest versions to the plans of the project.
Building Information Modelling (BIM)
BIM is a similar software to CAD (computer-aided design), but with some updated features. It not only designs the building 3D model digitally but also creates diverse layers of metadata and furnishes them within a collaborative workflow.
While renovating or remodelling the structure, using BIM software makes it look easy and can be used on mobile devices too. It also helps in improving field communication and coordination and has a lot of scope in the coming years.
