The way of working within the constructions industry is changing continuously by means of different trends. Below, you will find the five most important trends which we will be seeing for the year.
Trend one: Modular building and prefabrication
Modular building strategies and prefabrications are getting more popular by the day. Not only within the architecture but within the entire industry. Compared to the traditional strategies prefabrication of components is with a higher quality, more efficient and faster, as the prefab workplace is quieter and more structured compared to a busy workplace.
Trend two: VR and AR
The second trend is the use of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). Both, very interesting developments which are offering a wide range of new opportunities. VR makes it possible to look into the project from the office, it provides a lot of insights. However, it is not to be used on the workplace itself, as the use of VR completely isolates you in the virtual world and you are not aware of the real world anymore. Meanwhile, AR is very useful for the workplace as you are able to see the real world still. The real world is combined with holograms. Both AR and VR are making significant developments within the constructions industry.
Trend three: 3D laser scanning
It is getting more important, connecting BIM to the workplace. At the moment it is mostly used with renovation projects, 3D laser scanners are giving the opportunity to collect data about existing buildings. For example, information about borders of walls and windows and also the X, Y and Z-coordinates are being collected. The coordinates are being collected and re-used in a new BIM-model.
Trend four: Building with robots
The fourth trend is the use of automated machines and robots, which are increasing the productivity at the workplace. These robots are serving for various ultimatums such as; foundation constructions, masonry and machines which are creating constructions.
Trend five: Digitalization
When we’re talking about digitalization, the constructions industry is far behind compared to other industries. As other industries have changed a lot already, it is just starting to develop within the construction industry. Take DiviD as one of the few existing examples, the tool is developed to digitalize project documentation to increase the efficiency of workflows. It is used to provide work instructions, inspections, checking performance and reporting.
Voldoe aan de Wet kwaliteitsborging voor het bouwen (Wkb)
De overheid wil meer toezicht en controle in de bouw zodat bouwers zich aan de geldende kwaliteitseisen houden. Daarom gaat per 1 januari 2024 de wet stapsgewijs in.
Gebruik DiviD om te voldoen aan de Wkb, om uw werkprocessen te digitaliseren en uw medewerkers bekend te maken met deze nieuwe werkwijze.
