5 of the most exciting new construction technologies in 2023

It is fair to say that the construction industry may, in the past have been slightly more reluctant to embrace modern technology in comparison to other sectors.

The average age of a construction worker these days is over 40 after all and many companies are run by those who believe that the old ways will always be the best ways.

Times are a changing however, and the fact is that more and more forward thinking companies are adopting technologies that speed up time-consuming processes and reduce both the cost and length of construction projects.

Many of these technologies, especially security technologies such as construction site CCTV have become a must have for the modern building firm and those who refuse to adopt them will soon be left behind.

In a world of constant innovation where new technologies are being developed and produced every single day it seems, it is difficult to pick just a select few to include in this article.

Nevertheless, we have given it a good go and have picked out 5 of the most exciting new construction technologies that are currently on the market.

Drones

One of the first real indicators of a new age of construction was the introduction of drones for the surveying of sites and the tracking of project progress.

Drones have now been in use on construction sites across the nation for well over a decade and there are no signs that their use will decline again any time soon.

Drones are only incorporated with other security technologies such as infrared imaging or 3D lidar scans for maximum effectiveness.

Biometric scanners

With criminal activity a constant threat biometric scanners have made security much easier of construction sites, allowing you to control who can get inside and who cannot.

Fingerprint and facial recognition is much more secure than a keycard or passcode and ensures only fully authorised workers and visitors are allowed to enter your site.

3D laser scanners

Laser scanners can scan and analyse real life objects and are a fantastic tool for site surveying and health and safety protocols.

Accuracy levels has risen dramatically thanks to this technology that dramatically reduces the risk of a miscalculation.

New model generation would be much harder than it currently is if it was not for the development and application of 3D scanner technology.

Simulations

4D simulations save construction companies a huge amount of time, stress, and money, allowing them to test concepts without having to use any real life materials.

Simulations are also extremely popular among architects and property developers looking to pitch their projects to investors. It is not exaggeration to say that companies have saved literally months of planning time by utilising simulation technology.

Mobile CCTV Towers

Mobile CCTV towers provide construction sites with immediate full site surveillance and are fitted with a range of different smart features such as motion detection, shape recognition, and more.

They can be instlled rapidly and their footage is sent to you directly over 5G.
