Technological trends in the construction sector
Until a few years ago, the construction sector was one of the most lawyer database traditional and reluctant to innovation, having suffered a deep crisis caused by the bursting of the real estate bubble at the end of 2007. However, technological advances and the transformation of consumer habits and expectations are forcing companies in this sector to reinvent themselves.

Aware of its importance in society, the construction sector is constantly developing innovations and searching for new solutions. That is why, today on the ARBENTIA blog , we will talk about the technological trends in the construction sector that will lead to a digital revolution in the management of business processes in these companies.

These trends will allow organisations in the sector to increase their productivity, optimising resources and improving compliance with deadlines and the quality of projects and works. In addition, through the development of new materials it is possible to reduce the impact on the environment and reduce costs.

How does technology influence construction?

Discharge
Internet of Things (IoT)
It is used in what we know as smart buildings , which allows us to effectively meet the needs of people and improve accessibility to buildings. In addition, it allows us to reduce costs and space problems , helping to improve the adaptability of buildings. It also helps to improve building management by automating all of the systems in them.

Building Information Modeling (BIM)
This is a collaborative work methodology for the creation and management of a construction process. This process produces the building information model , covering everything from geometric information to time, cost, environmental and maintenance information. Its application provides great possibilities during the execution of a project and throughout the maintenance of a building.

Laser Scanner
One of the technological advances in construction is the use of laser scanners to benefit the creation of a high-quality structure. By obtaining detailed knowledge of the terrain , it is possible to improve decision-making, optimize spaces and concentrate on the design phase.

Robots
Robots have arrived in the construction sector to automate as many tasks as possible that are part of the construction process. Having a robot that can be fitted with a plan will facilitate the identification of risks and errors by carrying out more exhaustive and accurate reviews.

More and more companies are investing in automated construction. In fact, according to the latest forecasts, in less than five years, 20% of the work carried out in this sector will be carried out by robots .

Construction project management software
The digital revolution can be a great opportunity to differentiate oneself from the competition or improve cost efficiency. To do so, it is essential that construction companies have the support of a management platform that allows them to maintain full control of the progress of their projects in real time. Among the trends, the administration of budgets and available resources, customer orientation through a CRM tool , the optimization of operations and the creation of collaboration spaces to offer a better service in field operations stand out.

Drones
This technology allows for better monitoring of projects and can facilitate the inspection of high-rise construction sites or the detection of possible construction defects, providing an effective margin of control.

Thanks to these tiny ships and aerial photography, the tasks of monitoring the area, levelling and excavation have been improved, and we can compare buildings already built with models of future constructions in 3D design.

3D printing
This tool, which has entered the sector as one of the technological advances in construction , is of great help when working on the structure of a building, knowing its shape, size, possible suitable materials, etc. Thanks to 3D printing we can create prototypes and manufacture models that have a great impact on construction. In fact, it can help work with concrete and other types of heavy materials for the creation of walls, bricks or insulating materials.

Virtual reality
Virtual reality offers very competitive advantages in the construction sector. In addition to focusing on visual creation, it can offer a specific idea of ​​a building or home to the buyer without having to go to the construction site. It can also be used to train workers to deal with potential hazards in their workplace.

'Smartization' and electrification
These technologies will provide machines with new features and intelligent functionality. Currently, R&D investments are focused on compact machines, and in the long term, many machines are expected to operate autonomously , causing electric drive systems to become the dominant technology.
