Thank you for Subscribing to Construction Business Review Weekly Brief
Historically, the construction industry had been slow to adopt new technologies. However, that is starting to change as more and more companies realize just how much of an impact technologies can have on their bottom line. There’s no doubt that technology holds transformative power in today’s construction market. Not only have technological advancements led to greater efficiency in day-to-day operations, but they’ve also created new opportunities for companies to gain a competitive edge and focus on strategic growth. There are several ways technologies are making positive impacts on key priorities within the construction industry, including workforce, safety and risk management, and operational efficiency. Cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), building information modeling (BIM), drone mapping, and sensors are greatly enhancing site productivity while making them safer and quality compliant.
Notably, the potential applications of machine learning and AI in construction are also vast. AI is used to monitor construction issues, determine when preventative maintenance needs to be made, or even direct human behavior for optimal security and safety. AI is also being used to track the real-time interactions of workers, machinery, and objects on the site and alert supervisors of potential safety issues, construction errors, and productivity issues.
In addition, the utilization of BIM is facilitating better collaboration because each person can add their piece to the same model instead of broken out into multiple versions of a 2D paper drawing. This way, the model evolves immediately as people contribute, streamlining the process and increasing efficiency.
At this juncture, there is a variety of construction solution providers, service and consulting companies entering the market to cater to the different needs of enterprises. To help them choose the solution, service, or consulting companies that best fit their requirement, Construction Business Review has compiled lists of the most promising construction solution providers, service, and consulting companies. Besides, the magazine also comprises insights from thought leaders in the sector on the industry trends, best practices, recent innovations, and their advice for aspiring CIOs.
