Understanding Offsite Construction

Image
  Introduction The dream of industrially producing homes and buildings has inspired architects and engineers for a very long time. We have come a long way from building the structures and facilities in a traditional process. Modern problems need modern approaches and solutions. Modern problems are getting solved through design thinking and design innovations. The  traditional construction practices /methods in the building industry have over time turned out to be labor-intensive and come with so many concerns such as health and safety, procurement cost, changing weather conditions, quality, etc. What is Offsite construction? In general,   off-site construction is the process of planning, designing, fabricating, and/or assembling a structure at a location other than where the final structure will ultimately be installed .   It involves the process of planning, designing, fabricating, transporting, and assembling building elements for rapid site assembly to a greater d...

  Introduction The construction industry is one of the largest contributors to employment and economic growth in the world. The industry is growing faster than ever, due to the increase in population and the need for affordable housing, infrastructure, and facilities for all. The construction industry will continue to increase in its importance as the growth in any other industry will all be possible, when there are offices, schools, healthcare, factories, roads and bridges, etc built for running their operations. Market Scenario It is estimated that the global construction industry revenue will be about 16 Trillion USD, Growing at a CAGR of 7% and the Indian market would be around 1.4 Trillion, by 2025. In 2020, the Indian construction industry stood at around 6.5 Bn in revenue. So you can imagine the extent of the industry and thereby opportunities that are available for improvement in the way it is delivered. It becomes essential for the workforce — contributors across the lifec...

Steps Towards Digitalization of Property

  Introduction "Digitalization" is a trending aspect across industries due to its numerous benefits. The AEC industry is one of the good examples where many of the traditional processes of the Construction process are moving towards the adoption of the latest technologies to achieve efficiency. Digitalization of buildings refers to the conversion of all existing information of properties into digital formats and utilizing it to solve business problems and provide optimum solutions. About Digitalization is advancing the as-built/under-construction properties to smarter sites using  Digital Technologies  in the Digital World, which further makes the workflows, and processes easier and more effective. Digitalization is becoming a key aspect & these Digital models are generated from the geometrical and non-geometrical information acquired during the design and development stage of construction or from the  Laser Scanning  technique. The most common use cases of...
