When productivity in construction is being talked about, you might have noticed the phrase “lean construction” always being mentioned. Well, essentially because the methods in this technique all lead to an improved productivity rate on the site. Basically, lean construction is all about reducing waste, making your home or infrastructure projects more sustainable. It also
Landing big civil engineering projects is often the measure of a construction firm’s victory. But it isn’t as simple as it sounds. Working on a huge project requires a lot of research, discernment, winning the trust of the owner so he’ll hire you to do the job. Then the next thing for you to do
BIM, subcontractor, infrastacture projects, civil engineering projects, top construction companies, construction subscontractor More and more milliennials and members of the Gen Z group are securing work early in their lives. Most of them would apply as apprentices or assistants until they finally complete their requirements to become fully qualified to take on higher positions. Now,
Delays in construction projects are often caused by several factors, which we discussed in a previous blog, pointing out to weather disturbances, lack of communication, and poor management as some of the major reasons to experience such. However, we also mentioned about construction budget, which is an issue on the client’s side, and the productivity
It’s sad to see the world slowly getting wrapped up in poor quality air. We see a higher population of people acquiring respiratory and skin diseases because of this. This is why HVAC is more important today than ever. Despite the need, there are still some firms that put HVAC at the bottom of their
It wasn’t long since the construction industry started recognizing and embracing smart technologies. Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, mobile technology, construction management software, and other digitization techniques are already being slowly streamlined in the field, but it didn’t take long for BIM to dominate the design and planning processes in construction. Today’s AEC (architecture-engineering-construction) stakeholders are
You’ve probably noticed us always mentioning about 3D printers when it comes to revolutions that came to the construction industry in the past 10 years. The first time that it was introduced to the world, we were actually amazed by how fast it can be to build a structure. It’s potential to construct skyrise buildings
Revolution in the construction industry doesn’t only account for the technology injected in the field. When we talk of trends, the first thing we look into is the updates on equipment, construction project management software, gadgets, digital technology, and other technological creations. But processes in construction are also updated once in a while. And the
Different kinds of technological advances are continuing to make an impact on the construction industry. Year after year, we see the industry trying to find how technology can fit in on the site and how it can make the work quality better. Some of the technology used in the industry may be far from what
Managing a single construction project is no joke. Contractors and project managers are held responsible for hundreds of lives working on the site, a multi-million investment, and other expensive resources like materials and equipment. With all of these moving together at the same time, it’s extremely difficult for the leaders to manage them all properly
Construction project management is a difficult task – we’ve mentioned this in a previous blog and to help project managers find their way to a successful crew handling, we recommended some good reads. Today, we’re going to share with you trends in construction project management that you shouldn’t ever neglect. The construction industry is starting
Despite the rise of software and interactive technology in construction, McKinsey still believes that the industry is under-digitized. This follows the failure of construction firms to realize the potential benefits that artificial intelligence (AI) can bring to the site, most especially in business growth and operational efficiency. Construction firms probably believe that there’s no place
Construction firms are quickly drifting from their analog ways to embrace more opportunities brought about by the digital realm. Recently, we looked into the trends coming to the construction industry this 2020 but today, we’ll be more specific by looking into the improvements coming to construction software this year. Firms are already streamlining the use
Construction planning software is being widely used in the building industry today. Their features foster greater efficiency and productivity on construction sites, which is why even startup firms are already considering using one in their projects. But when selecting a construction project management software to use, one of the most critical factors in your decision
The construction industry is continuously getting demands for complex projects. To build them, firms need to embrace more innovative technologies and start taking better advantage of the new, impactful tools being developed like augmented reality and virtual reality. Interactive technology has found its way in construction not so long ago. But even if it’s just
