New Construction Technology Trends

The rapid transformation of the traditional building and construction scenario for the better has been welcomed by industry professionals in general! With the swiftly changing client expectations, construction has become more energy optimised, modular, specific and with enhanced health and security parameters. Advanced technologies like sensors, low hardware, and software costs have made it possible to go for more higher end tailored products for  homes, worksites, commercial buildings and more.

Here’s a run through about the latest construction technology trends by Vishraam Builders, prime builders of flats in Thrissur.

Smart Homes

With the advent of IoT (internet of things) many devices have been designed specifically for homes to make them smarter and friendlier. Voice commands controlling opening of Gates, sprinkler systems, lights etc. are only a few examples. Voice assistants like Amazon’s Alexa or Google Home help in home automation. Leveraging on AI, these devices will respond to our escalating needs and continually evolve.

Machine Learning

The use of Machine learning in the construction industry is to improve safety, productivity, quality, and other essential measures. Machine learning enhances the design and planning, allowing the work force to refine their expertise and creativity.

Prefabrication

Prefabrication has been used in the construction industry in various applications over the years. Gen-next technologies are making the benefits of prefabrication more accessible and change the way the construction industry makes buildings.

Self-healing concrete

In the near future we can expect self-healing concrete to be used on roads, buildings and homes.

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Builders of today like Vishraam Builders utilise BIM/CAD software to digitally model what will be built. BIM will not just create a visually appealing 3D model of the building but creates numerous layers of metadata and displays them within a collaborative workflow as well. BIM allocates space for each skilled person to contribute their piece to the same model, instead of breaking out into multiple versions of a 2D paper drawing. As the model evolves immediately as people contribute, streamlining the process and increasing efficiency. BIM also helps with problem-solving in the design and planning stages of a project.

3D Printing

The use of 3D printing will drastically change material sourcing in construction. 

During prefabrication, materials for a project can be printed and then transported to the job site, ready for use immediately. This can streamline the process and source materials faster.

Advanced Materials

New technologies are bringing material innovations to the front which are reducing the impact of construction on our environment.  Recycling of construction waste products is increasing. Waste plastic is nowadays used in making roads and even its use as a material for 3D printing new building components or structures is one of the latest construction technology trends.
