Digital Construction Technology

The trend of Digital technology in the construction industry is growing globally. The construction companies are shifting toward digitization using advanced and newest construction technologies for professional and efficient delivery. Digital technology is changing the actual construction work like introducing latest machinery for buildings that can be easily fitted together on-site and 3-D printer designs to construct complex structural components out of concrete e.g. architectural features and curved panels etc. digital technology have introduced the building components as well as ways to put them together.

The international construction companies are being transformed by digital innovation. The advanced construction techniques are time savvy, cost effective and easily used by international construction companies. The robotic system is the latest innovation in construction industry. Short for Semi-Automated Mason (SAM) is a bricklaying robot that handles tasks of applying mortar, picking up bricks, and laying them.

Change is a constant in all aspects of construction and technology and managing change is critical for successful projects delivery and for better organizations. The team of project builders and contractors having relevant digital skills and capabilities is essential for digitally savvy organization. Here are some emerging digital technologies that are future of construction industry.

5-D BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the next generation 5-D technology having marvelous potential in construction sector. 5-D BIM help contractors and project owners to manage 3D designing, reduce critical cost and scheduling information. The project risks and costly problems can be identified and overcome on time When BIM is properly implemented.

Cloud-based Digital Collaboration platform is essential to manage multifaceted and complex project data. Aconex is a user-friendly platform to share project data from the office or on the go. It digitizes workflows and allows project teams to manage everything from contract administration to document reviews quickly and efficiently. 

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) allow assets and equipment to talk to one another through wireless technology. The data can be gathered from machinery and equipment and then transmitted back to a collaboration platform With IoT. IoT technology is growing rapidly; improve project efficiency, risk management, timelines and helps project teams to monitor productivity, safety, quality control and inventory.

Obviously digital transformation will take time to implement. The full potential of digitization can be achieved when the organizations will be able to manage change, new project delivery structures, increasing project complexity and risk, and stricter regulation and compliance. The digital construction technology is inevitable for improved productivity, efficiency and for successful project outcomes.
