The year 2020 caused unprecedented disruption to the global economy in various sectors. Despite the challenges that arose due to this pandemic, there are reasons to be optimistic. Let’s explore some construction industry trends that are on the horizon for the coming years.

1. 3D printing
No other technology can reduce the density of workers in the job site (for good and bad) like the process of 3D printing. In the field, it can be essentially seen as a big nozzle that methodically lays concrete in vertical piles according to a pre-programmed design.

This method is already in use in some commercial sectors around the world and is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years. Recently, a 3D home building company was able to raise $35m after successfully printing an entire neighborhood in Mexico. There is even a time-lapse video of a 3-D printed 2-story building in Dubai that has been gaining popularity on Youtube.

2. Living materials
One of the most exciting construction trends to watch in the upcoming year is the development and implementation of living materials. The upside of such materials ...
... is far too great to let it just be another idea that gets implemented poorly.

The most promising of these biological (or living) materials are built by and made of bacteria and fungi. This allows them to be light, strong, and weirdly portable.

Things like self mending concrete (concrete consisting of bacteria that binds the materials around them into a new structural material), mycelium composites, and many more can come into play in construction projects for the upcoming year.

Implementing these new-age technologies to uplift the quality of cement in Nepal will play a vital role in easing the issues created due to rapid urbanization.

3. Remote technology
Remotely might just be the word of the year for 2020. Anything that can promise a task can be completed remotely will grow in popularity for the upcoming years too.

Almost all commercial construction sites are using drones to overview surveying and mapping tasks. This helps to discover any underlying safety issues, enhance the flow of information, and overview all the ongoing tasks on the job site.

4. Modular construction
This is something that was already starting to see a steady rise in construction projects. This type of production process and the final result is perfectly suited for the times that we are in right now.

These products are easy to install and requires fewer workers to move large components around. The final result is surprisingly sturdy and sustainable and can save a lot of costs during construction projects.

5. Supply Chain Diversification
The disruptions during the pandemic paved way for disruptions in the supply chain. This trend means that we will have to reevaluate long term business relationships and create new connections that can ease our operation.

This is a great opportunity to look for nimble suppliers and contractors that will help your company meet market demands.

With every obstacle, we have a chance to focus on the things that work and innovate on the things that don’t. This is the perfect time to integrate these changes into your business and plan for a better and secure future.
