The world came to a sudden halt during the COVID-19 pandemic and many construction firms began facing the existential crisis as the norm shifted from the ‘real to remote’. Global safety and hygiene measures made the situation somewhat adjustable for companies that had to resume operations to avoid losses worth billions of dollars. However, it is worthwhile to understand that the construction industry is a diversely complex ecosystem involving assets and stakeholders with varying levels of access to digitization. Tech-boom beyond the spreadsheets and common design software, the construction tech industry is rising to the expectations of the leaders and visionaries looking to cater to the new generations’ newer standards of productivity and profitability.
If you are already imagining Terminator-like robots, replacing manual labor and independently running show, hold your horses. We still have a long way to get there! But equally interesting transformations await the early adopters and slow movers in the field.
It all starts with data and growth of remote collaboration tools to make communication and information sharing secure for the stakeholders in both, field and office in real-time. Project planning, estimation, scheduling and strategizing also take up the creme of the priority to help decision makers incorporate physical representations of buildings and 3D modeling at each stage of the plan. Automation and AI-based tools including sensors, scanners and wearables that mimic human intelligence will replace legacy approaches for identifying patterns and roadblocks. Also, ML-based software and subsets of AI will be extensively leveraged to predict future projects outcomes, workers’ safety and probable risks.
For the foreseeable future, drones and robots may take over simple, repetitive and labor-intensive tasks for remote inspection, job-site safety and productivity. But for now, a lot remains to be explored by the construction firms that have to start afresh with basic digitization.
The pandemic opened new doors of possibilities for a legacy approaches and software driven industry. Even the player personas and demographics are likely to see a change in the coming years as construction tech starts to get more relevant to times!
