Some emerging technologies to make construction process smarter


Recently we notices some technological revolution in construction industry with the use of Smartphone’s, aerial drones mapping and surveying, Digital blueprint apps, 3D imaging and gadgets etc. Given below, some innovative construction technologies in recent times.

The Internet
Internet has made a sea change in designing, developing and examining construction projects.

Construction management software, GPS, laser-based survey equipment, and laser-guided excavation and tunneling equipment offer more accuracy in foundations, perimeters, and corners. With automation of decade long manual process, the number of errors reduces significantly.

The technology also controls risks in an efficient manner. The engineers and contractors apply different types of software solutions to design and analyze structures prior to commencement of actual construction in jobsite. They can also identify high risk prone areas for worker injury, enhance maintenance access, and preserve a safer job site.

Construction Management Software
In recent times, various task management software emerge in the market to enhance the productivity and maintain everything on to-do list as well as offer an precious resource to construction companies to keep an eye on advancement and keep all the members updated with the progression of the of the project against scheduled goals.

Budgeting, billing processes, and time management tools simplify the whole process from beginning to completion.

Building Information Management alias BIM facilitates to generate a 3D building plan and integrate it with a construction schedule. Such large-scale software is comprehensively incorporated and can organize the way for prefabrication. The numbers of workers are reduced in the jobsite as the part of construction is arranged in a manufacturing environment. As less work required at height together with less physical management of supplies, safety is ensured.

Blueprint Apps
Blueprint Apps can operate through tablets and the construction professionals use them to supervise plans and make any modification digitally. The construction professionals can easily manage their work in the jobsite from any remote location or from office.

These apps create scopes for making easy communication between the owner, project managers, and other staff in real-time and thus all the project stakeholders can keep contact with each other in 24 hours a day.

All the prospective errors can be detected easily before the actual construction begins and modified accordingly.
