New Technologies Make CRE Construction More Streamlined



There’s no question about it - technology is changing the way we do everything. Around the world, all major industries are being re-envisioned to incorporate the growing collection of cutting-edge digital tools.

One such example is construction. Overall, we’re seeing a huge shift towards productivity, efficiency, and affordability. The various technologies which are available to us today are enhancing the building process by making construction easier and quicker than ever before. Let’s look at some of these ground-shaking technologies and how they’re affecting CRE construction.

Artificial Intelligence

When AI is being integrated into every business sector, don’t think that construction is being left out. AI holds the capacity to change the way we do everything, and its relationship with the building industry is no different. With the ability to record information, analyze large quantities of data, and reduce errors; AI is perfect for streamlining construction.

AI is letting developers optimize their design plans. Professionals can come up with creative solutions using advanced systems that automatically analyze environmental, material, and building data; helping to determine the best way to plan the project.

AI also has immense capacities for quality control, one of CRE construction’s most important points. Using digital systems to detect flaws, errors, or issues within a newly built property will help prevent safety hazards from going unnoticed. Not only will this help keep the occupants safe, but it also mitigates legal risks down the line.

Virtual Reality

VR’s impact on commercial construction is making huge waves within the industry, and it’s easy to see why. By using advanced 3D technology, VR is able to take a project’s plans and create digital models of the unbuilt properties.

Visualization issues have stood as a prevalent barrier for the construction industry, and the size and scale of commercial properties only exacerbate the issue. This is where VR steps in to change the game. By effortlessly transferring 2D plans into a true-to-life virtual environment, CRE projects are given a new dimension - even before they’re built.

The advantages of being able to clearly and accurately ‘see’ an upcoming construction project has many benefits. It makes marketing the project easier, pitching the idea to potential clients more effective, and it allows people to interact with the space in a whole new way.

Above all, visualization grants the power of enhanced insight. Builders and developers will be able to quickly see problem areas and fix them before they’re finalized. This makes the process of correcting mistakes an easy fix, rather than a costly disaster.

Machine Learning

Machine learning takes artificial intelligence’s application into the construction industry one step further. The term describes AI’s ability to hone its skills and perfect itself by learning from experience. Machine learning uses specific algorithms to reduce the number of mistakes while completing tasks, while also finding ways to optimize the process in the future.

This intuitive-learning style is quickly adaptive and is making autonomous tools increasingly proficient. Thanks to machine learning, robots can be effectively deployed to work on large-scale construction projects.

Technology is bringing modern construction to a completely new level of sophistication, safety, and automation. To learn more about the industry’s latest developments, check out our blog!

4 CRE Trends We Can Attribute to Millennials

Today’s workforce is undergoing a major shift in population. As of 2017, 56 million Millennials are either working or actively searching for work , making them the largest segment of the U.S. labor force, surpassing Gen Xers in 2016 and this will eventually lead to an impact of office space needs and what companies are looking for with new office leases.   More than one out of every three American workers is a Millennial -- more than Gen Xers and much more than Baby Boomers. And, just as every other generation that came before them, Millennials pride themselves on marching to the beat of their own drum, if you will -- wearing different clothes, listening to different music, and working differently. The very idea of where and how we work is undergoing a revolution right now, with major changes being made in physical design and decor. Here’s a closer look at 4 CRE trends we can attribute to millennials… 1. Millennials prefer non-traditional workspaces   ...
