The digital transformation has allowed a qualitative leap in numerous key aspects of the construction sector such as efficiency, sustainability and profitability. But, in order to continue responding to consumer needs, the companies of the sector should continuously update themselves. These are the latest technologies in the construction sector.

Connectivity
Advances in technology such as 5G or wifi6 will offer the possibility to connect different construction points in an easier and more efficient manner. It will also facilitate the use of apps that allow access to worksite information remotely and from any device. The progress in connectivity also will serve to increase the efficiency of administrative tasks.

Virtual reality
The use of virtual reality will be very beneficial for the construction industry. In addition to giving potential buyers the possibility to see finalized recreations of projects still in the construction phase, it also allows visiting buildings without actually having to go onsite and corrects possible defects that are detected.

Hyper automation
Automation of the work procedures in the construction sector is one more step in the use of the latest technologies in a combined manner. This will produce a sophistication of the automated procedures that will analyze, design, measure, monitor or reevaluate in a much more effective way.

Drones
The use of drones will inspect buildings and receive updates in real time to verify and monitor safety risks. From the captured images, one can carry out previous simulations and make hypotheses on the development of projects which permit the forecast of otherwise unforeseeable events.

Big data
Although the management of data, or big data, is something we’ve heard about for some time, its application in construction is making a very positive impact on the sector. The possibility to obtain a large amount of data on the behavior of the market and the users is key in identifying points to improve, new needs and offering more valuable proposals.
