Top Innovative Techniques in Commercial Construction

Each day, with the improvements in existing technology and the invention of new ones, different areas see innovations that change the way the industry works. As more and more innovations occur and technology improves, people see new trends that make their work easy and convenient. Just like many other industries, construction industry has also seen some rapid innovations in the past few years that have revolutionized the industry completely. These new innovations make use of technology in ways that lets users evaluate, analyze and take optimum actions to maximize the efficiency of their property. This blog talks in detail about such innovations that have changed the way the construction industry works.

• Pre-fabricated construction

For the longest, the Pakistani construction industry has mainly been driven by raw materials that are brought to the construction site and turned into a building after long hours of labor. That has its own benefits, as each building is custom made according to the needs. However, the process is unnecessarily long and labor intensive. Instead of putting in long hours in labor and waiting for almost a year to receive a final product (in case of medium sized houses, time can vary for different sized buildings), pre-fabricated materials can be used. The concept of pre-fabricated materials is highly amusing as you can get everything premade. It is very simple. All you must do is find the right parts and components for the job, bring them to the construction site, assemble them and receive the final product. No need to wait for obnoxiously long periods of time.

This is a good innovation as it minimizes the amount of labor and time required for the construction of buildings. Pre-fabricated materials can be used in a wide array of buildings, not just homes. The applications of such materials have benefits for both the owner of the house and the construction company. As it takes less time to construct a building using pre-fabricated materials, it saves the time of the laborers and the company engaged in the construction activity. Whereas the owners of the house don’t have to wait for long periods of time and receive the final product early on.

• Computer Aided Designs (CAD)

CAD designs have been around for a while now. This is an extremely powerful and useful tool as it produces 3D designs of the building. This can help the owners of the property get a 3D view of how their building would look like after they are done with it. Moreover, the almost realistic view of the building in 3D space enables the users to get a more in-depth view of the structural designs.

It is one thing to see the designs on paper or in 2D space but seeing them in 3D space brings another level of detail. It helps the owners in understanding the design aspect in great detail and make better informed decisions.

• VR and AR modelling

Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality have been around for some time. There have been many applications of the two technologies, however their application in industry really changes the way industry works. These technologies step up the game from CAD designs and provide another level of immersive experience. Now instead of just viewing 3D structures of buildings in software, you can use Virtual and Augmented Reality to experience a real world like experience. How is that possible you may ask? Well, it is quite simple for the most part. All you have to do is wear VR goggles that show you objects in a way that replicates real world behavior. Now instead of just viewing objects on a screen, you can be present inside 3D space using 3D models. The immersive behavior of VR and AR wrap objects around your field of providing an authentic experience.

This essentially means that now the construction industry can largely benefit from this technological innovation. This tool is going to be especially beneficial for customers who wish to take a tour of their property before it even gets built. This will help the customers make better informed decisions and they can propose changes in the early design phase. This will not only save time but also help in reducing cost, as you can carry out the trial procedure in AR powered goggles that provide the immersive experience.

• Smart buildings

For the longest, movements for clean and green initiatives have been going on. On a more micro level, green is not necessarily associated with electric powered auto vehicles. Rather it calls for a way of life that puts less and less burden on the planet by reducing wastage of energy resources, harmful emissions etc. This is a great area where smart devices are highly beneficial.

Smart devices are great for home, office use as they monitor, analyze, and report the usage of energy and respond to triggers set by the users. Moreover, they can be remotely controlled due to their access of internet. For example: you have left home for a cross country trip. After being halfway through the trip, you remember that you have left an electric bulb on accidentally. Now that bulb is wasting electricity as it is not being used by anyone, rather is consuming energy for no reason. If a normal bulb has been used, in such a case, you would have to be physically present to turn that bulb off. However, if a smart bulb has been used, it can easily be controlled through the supported app. Now you can easily turn off the bulb and enjoy your trip without any worry.

This is just a tip of the iceberg as smart devices have multiple use cases and can be used in many ways. You can use smart devices to record your usage of energy as well. At the end of the month, you can compile and analyze the results to see your energy usage. Then after reflecting you can minimize your usage.

Another way can be to install smart sensors that automatically activate when the set trigger happens. For example: motion detecting lights can be used to maximize energy conservation in areas that do not need electricity to be switched on all the time. A use case for the above example can be car garage, store rooms etc.

Utilizing smart devices in a building effectively turns it into a smart building. In lay man terms, a building that performs certain actions on its own such as switching off electricity etc. Smart devices have been becoming increasingly common as more and more people are realizing their importance and usage. These are especially being used by people who support the clean and green initiatives. These devices are not that difficult to get and set up. You can set them up yourself simply by reading a manual or by watching informative videos online. Either way it is very simple to set up these devices and start reaping benefits from them.

• Digital Twins

Before we talk about their potential, lets first see what digital twins are. Imagine your home or any building for that matter. Now imagine an exact clone of that building, a digital copy that exactly replicates your building. That is essentially what digital twins are, digital copies of existing physical property. However, a question arises that “Why would you need a digital copy of a physical asset?” Well, the answer is simple, to analyze.

Digital twins let you assess the exact real time and real-world performance of your building. These are not only limited to houses and can be scaled to any level. The bigger the size of the asset, the greater the complexity of your digital twin. However, the benefits of a digital twin are worth all the complexities.

To make use of a digital twin, you need to install smart devices in the building that feed real time data to the twin. This way you can simulate the real-world environments of the building. The real benefit of digital twins is that they provide you with the opportunity of carrying out changes in software before carrying them out in real world. This way you can analyze the effects of those changes and after gathering data figure out the best changes and carry them out in the real world to maximize the output. Digital twins are beneficial at small scale as well, but their main benefits are when their full potential is unlocked, that being in large areas with automated processes. You can bring those processes in your digital twin and carry out tests in the twin to find out the best settings etc. based on the data you receive from the digital twins.
