Key Technologies Taking Construction to New Levels

Designers may use BIM software to create 3D mockups of a planned structure that provide cost and schedule details. Variables, such as building methods or materials, may be changed in the program to measure the costs of various techniques or materials over time.

Fremont, CA: For centuries, construction has thrived on creativity and technological breakthroughs. This time is no exception. Companies that use cutting-edge technologies and techniques will minimize project timelines, lower construction costs, and encourage a safer, more sustainable industry.

Since the moment someone first built a brick out of mud and wondered if there was a better way, the building industry has been on a quest for productivity in terms of labor, materials, and timelines.

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

While BIM has been around for a few years, the technology has advanced to the point that contractors and owners find it extremely useful.

In reality, in the United Kingdom, BIM is needed as a cost- and time-saving component of all government-funded systems. It is against the rule not to use BIM there.
