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.
