Construction is an ever-changing industry, and trends are an ever-present part of the need for the industry to adapt. While not all trends remain evergreen, there are some that are here to stay. See the construction trends that are likely to become Best Practices in the construction industry in years to come.

Construction Industry Trends That are Here to Stay

  1. The Adoption of Technology. The use of tech will continue to be adopted by the construction industry. Whether it’s the use of virtual design and construction—the use of a virtual environments like virtual reality to design and test a build—or artificial intelligence—called AI—used to improve worker safety, technology has the ability to improve a build in every aspect. Technology can improve design, reduce errors, improve communication, protect workers, streamline the supply chain, reduce theft and other loss, lower costs, and save time. With all the advantages of technology—and few downsides—it’s going to be a trend that only continues in the construction industry.
  2. The Use of Prefabrication and Modular Construction. This type of construction is where components are made offsite and delivered to the jobsite for installation. It’s a sector of the industry that has grown by leaps and bounds in the previous years. It will continue to grow because it’s been shown that using prefabrication and modular construction usually leads to lower costs, faster the construction times, and a reduction in waste.
  3. Green Building. Just like consumers want to know the source of their food, consumers also want to know that the materials that have been utilized in the construction of their homes have a positive impact on the environment. This means sourcing native materials, building energy-efficient structures, adding tech like solar power as part of a new build, and using sustainable methods and materials. Construction will only continue to become more sustainable going forward.
