AUGUST 2024CONSTRUCTIONBUSINESSREVIEW.COM6Propelled by technological advancements, a focus on sustainability, and heightened demands for safety and efficiency, the U.S. construction forensics sector is poised for substantial transformation. The rising adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has significantly improved the identification and analysis of defects, enhancing the accuracy of forensic investigations. The integration of robotics and automation further supports this development. These technologies have augmented the precision and efficiency of investigating construction defects and failures by assisting in tasks such as data collection and site inspections. Augmented Reality (A.R.) and Virtual Reality (V.R.) are also gaining traction, offering immersive visualization and on-site assistance. These technologies enhance the accuracy of inspections and aid in visualizing potential issues during forensic analysis. In addition, digital twins--virtual replicas of physical structures--are emerging in construction forensics. Digital twins enable forensic experts to simulate different scenarios, analyze structural behavior under various conditions, and predict potential failures, further advancing the field.Similarly, the field of construction forensics is witnessing an emphasis on proactive risk management and worker safety. Technologies such as wearable devices, which monitor vital signs and environmental conditions, and AI-powered surveillance systems capable of predicting and preventing accidents, are becoming increasingly prevalent.This edition, Construction Forensic Services 2024, features A.C.
