Construction Technology and Design

There are a lot of home buyers that have been waiting for their dream homes while construction of the building they dreamed to own was underway. What they don’t know is the modern construction technology, which has tremendously helped the residential and commercial buildings in Mumbai. Construction technology in real estate sector isn’t something new, but it’s been improved at a rapid rate over the past few years. Keeping pace with this trend of innovation, is becoming essential for construction companies in India.

While some construction companies may still rely upon conventional means for construction technology, others have adopted the new styles and methods. Nonetheless, the development of a company is directly linked to the quality of its output, which not only can help in reducing costs but also has a major impact on time management.

The Indian construction industry is currently valued at USD $220 billion, and is expected to reach $280 billion by 2025. With the government’s increased focus on urban development, Smart Cities, and achieving the agenda of ‘Housing for All’ further augments the necessity for construction technology to build superior quality at a noteworthy scale. Ina country that accounts for 20 percent of global population and with a housing shortage of 12 million homes (NASSCOM estimates – September 2016) annually, today there are nearly 100 million people living in slums – nearly half of the urban population. Addressing such pressing issues will require a paradigm shift in the way we approach construction as it presents challenges of cost control, long lead times, limited manpower for implementation, poor quality of construction material, disparity degree of skillsets across various disciplines like architecture, civil engineering etc.

The construction industry has been changing drastically in the recent past due to the transformative forces of technology. In this way building development is witnessed by a number of revolutions taking place in real estate realm. The revamping is seen in safety measures, enhanced efficiencies and better automation. Listed are some revolutionary techniques being used by most developers in the India:

• The execution of the new construction technology envisages to implement modern building materials for top class projects. Homeowners find this revolutionary solution to be quite lucrative, as it outperforms other habitat options in many aspects. Using ceramics, vitrified tiles and UPVC products signify the advent of a venture which is not only economically viable, but also eco-friendly and environment-conscious.

• India aspires to prepare sustainable buildings and that is possible through advancements made in the field of Construction Technology. Newer construction technologies include cellular blocks/fly-ash bricks, automatic batching plants, recycling of water through sewage treatment plants, rainwater harvesting, PPR pipes and solar energy panels to serve the purpose of water heating.

• Construction technology in real estate has witnessed significant progress in the last decade. This progress has been seen through numerous approaches, ranging from the use of aluminium formwork, to adding advanced steel framing as well as jump and slip form technologies. The use of aluminium formwork, for instance, have redefined the project timelines, thus paving the way for targeting ever-improving quality and augmented construction scale in a minimalistic timeline.

• With the evolution of technology and advancement in construction world, building a dream house has become easier than ever. Dry walls are among the three essentials for construction following the foundation and framing work. Dry wall construction is utilized to bring internal divisions in the property like kitchens, washrooms, cabins, sanctuaries and even offices.

As the real estate sector in India is growing day by day, developers are choosing to adopt technology at each stage of construction. Use of technology has helped them in better management and also provide sustainable services.
