1. The Shift for Sustainability

One of the most potential adoptions shaping the ‘new normal’ is an improved focus on sustainability, which will continue to grow. With two-thirds of the global population expected to nest in cities by 2050, sustainability will be driving the development.

Construction firms will have to be stringent in their adherence to green building standards. Calculation of environmental impacts at every construction stage is also becoming vital.

2. Digitalization Leading the Way

The only way to keep up with productivity is through digital technologies. These have plentiful advantages, including clear communication, effective collaboration, and stronger value chain management.

Integration of digital innovations like Revit structural modeling, 3D printing, scan to BIM, and many more breakthroughs increase productivity and reap more profitable results. These emerging technologies also make sites safe for construction workers and contractors.

3. Automated Production Systems

Companies are expected to increase their investment in new-age products. As automation plays a lead role in modern technology, manufacturing machinery and equipment are all set to be automated for specialized productions through spool drawings. Automation can accelerate productivity growth from 0.8 to 1.4 percent every year.

Investments in technologies like robotics will take over manufacturing and production systems. Construction sites are expected to become capital-intensive and innovative through the adoption of automation equipment, drones, and other technologies.

4. Customer-centric Designs

Today, customer-centricity and branding are the real game-changer for the construction industry. Companies offering exceptional user experience and brand ideologies are winning the attention of a larger clientele and stakeholders.

With a newer and specialized landscape of the construction industry, establishing a unique identity becomes important.

5. Lower International Barriers

Global standardization in the AEC sector will lower international barriers, giving players in the construction industry a competitive advantage to expand their business beyond the border.

An increase in the scale of the projects and more acquisitions makes bidding easier on international projects.

6. Enhanced Efficiency with Value-chain Control

As standard manufacturing gains importance, construction companies are about to take control of the value and supply chains.

This monitoring will aid in controlling costs and offering more efficient construction solutions. The construction sector’s foreseen future involves vertical integration and strategic partnerships for reliable services.

7. Expert Staffing

Upskilling staff is as important as keeping up with the newer trends and standards of the construction industry. To maintain a competitive edge in the specialized business models, invest in expert staffing.

● Construction Trends for Residential Domain

As the deadline of 2030 to reduce net carbon emissions by 50% approaches, the residential construction market is expected to drift towards more energy-efficient designs to keep up with green standards. In such a case, the construction industry needs to be prepared to adopt sustainable building solutions and smart technologies. Our innovative approach with BIM integration promises designs that stay on track with the regulations and sustainability principles.

● Commercial Construction Trends

As manufacturing disruptions grew at a rate of 30% year-by-year, it led to halts, shutdowns, and labor accidents. With the potential for supply chain disruptions and material shortage, commercial projects must lock material prices early to avoid unexpected surges. Construction experts in commercial sectors need to ensure ample labor supply and adopt newer equipment for efficient results.
