Remote Technology:

“Remote” is the world of the times and anything that promises that a task can be completed remotely is going to grow quickly. This is true for both building tasks and administrative tasks.

Almost no commercial jobsite now is without a Drone. Construction is the fastest growing adopter of commercial drones according to DroneDeploy, a drone surveying and mapping app. By peering down at a project from above, contractors find invaluable information. Safety issues are quickly discovered, quantities of materials on site can be accurately estimated, and orthomosaic maps can be created making even the largest job site visible as a whole. Substantial financial savings are achievable as a result. Safety information can reduce insurance claims, accurate assessment of materials and progress can lead to more timely information for Pay Requests and can help make necessary adjustments to manpower and scheduling to avoid delays.

In the office, technology is greatly enhancing the flow of information. Blockchain technology is a method of user-verified, real time input of an endless number of data points, from transactions, to payments, to completion of tasks and revisions of schedules.

This technology is becoming simpler to use and is being rapidly adopted in large-scale work, with inroads now being made even on smaller jobs.

Modular Construction:

Modular construction and pre-fab building, which was already steadily on the rise, should see a huge boost in interest in the post-pandemic era. Both the manufacturing process and the result are perfectly suited for the times.

Manufactured buildings are already built in a way that promotes low worker density. The manufacturing is done in enormous, airy buildings, with plenty of room for distancing. And the equipment used — ceiling cranes, conveyors, and lifts — is specifically designed to let fewer workers move larger components, reducing worker proximity and labor costs.

Once manufactured, these buildings are typically small, limited by the ability of trucks to move them. As a result, they’re perfect for a world where separation is required.

They are ideal if a business needs individual offices with independent systems, a remote worker needs an office at home, or a hospital needs a few additional rooms. Prefabricated buildings have the dual advantage of being affordable and also potentially temporary. In times of uncertainty, a temporary solution is often the best option. This construction trend isn’t going anywhere.
