For the 2019, new trends are expected, not only in design, but in the application of technology that will continue to test the sector’s entrepreneurs. Among these are:
3D printing and use of Drones
When 3d printing technology was born it was only used to make basic plastic models, but now you can even build concrete houses as it happens in China.
This is why it is natural for construction managers to explore more and more different options that allow them to gain more profits. The same goes for the drones that were considered toys, but now they allow to inspect remote areas and construction projects that have spaces that are difficult to examine on foot because of their size or accessibility
Modular and prefabricated structures
Prefabrication at this time is no longer limited to the creation of cheap and badly constructed designs. The best architects are getting involved in these trends and are using them to create something similar to 3d printing.
Modular and prefabricated structures can help build managers expand their profit margins with innovative ways that reduce construction costs and times.
Green Projects
A study by the Green Construction Council of the United States affirmed that the ecological construction is surpassing the growth figure so they predict that by the 2019 the green construction would exceed the more than $300 billion of 2018 Dollars.
Virtual Reality and Apps for security
Is launching in the world a series of technology with innovative concepts that seeks to mitigate the safety risks of workers in the work, as this sector remains a very dangerous industry for employees.
Virtual reality simulators can help workers get a full training of what they need in a safe environment before using dangerous heavy equipment. There are even software options as an auditor that is dedicated to inspecting the site and providing security audits or FallSafety Pro that detects falls and sends alerts to emergency contacts.
Software for the administration and management of the work
Software development companies have been placed on the sidelines to make new programs and applications that help to meet the needs of construction managers to improve their operation and optimize their resources.
If you have not yet implemented any of these technologies and trends, we remind you that you have all of the 2019 to start doing it and be at the forefront of the world. Staying behind can mean a setback in your growth curve.
