New and Emerging Technologies in Construction Industry
The Construction Industry has undergone revolutionising changes in the last decade by embracing technological advancements. New-age construction methods have become highly efficient to ensure faster delivery time and cost effectiveness.
From construction drawings in blueprints during the 19th century to its gradual shift to whiteprint and now with 2D and 3D CAD drawings, the industry has witnessed a digital transformation in its methods and practices. In fact, the present-day Building Information Modelling (BIM), 4D Scheduling, and 5D cost modelling mark the beginning of a new era of construction technology. The 4D project management software simulation of construction progress tracks and validates the process including temporary works, traffic management, construction work tasks, as well as coordinates supplies and progress delivery to optimise project plans much ahead of time.
