VR Technology:

When we talk about VR technology, the first thing in mind is this technology is mostly connected with entertainment and gaming devices. Actually, virtual reality has occupied niche in the construction industry.

Virtual reality is able to creat visualization chances like property tours via a headset or using modeling technology to change designs without physically staying at the site.

VR technology is slowly becoming more mainstream and will allow construction companies to carefully plan every aspect of a project with a new view.

3D model-based Building Information Modeling（BIM):

Building Information Modeling is a 3D model-based process for creating and managing project information. Although this technology is most associated with the design process, 3D BIM modeling can be still used before, during, and after construction. This technology can benefit construction professional people by helping them create better plans, produce faster results, and stay within budget.Prefabricated steel structure has been used for many years in the construction industry, new technologies and construction practices that make prefabrication even more beneficial are emerging. Building information modeling is changing the way that teams collaborate on projects, enabling these teams to use prefabrication more often on larger and more complex projects.

Inspect building site by drones:

Drones can be used in many fields to help people understand unknow areas.Drones for surveying construction sites to obtain real-time data on progress and provide an overview of site via visuals. Also they can be used in mapping out these sites digitally to provide a high level of accuracy.

3D printing technology for construction:

There is no doubt that 3d printing is new for most of us in construction area.Until 2004 when Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis of University of Southern Carolina built the first 3D wall.That action brought the 3D printing technology to a revered position and till date, there have been numerous applications of the technology.3D printing is the process of making an item three-dimensional and tangible from a digital computer aided design file.

All technologies above is acting important role in construction industry now. These technologies can help save time, money, and prevente errors that can interrupt the building cycle.The further innovations will follow similar patterns and continue to find ways to build quicker and smarter, as well as ways to be more environmentally-friendly. Even we’re not sure what the future holds, we look forward to seeing more innovations in construction industry.
