Automation and robotics
have slowly taken over
different fields of work, may
it be for farming and
agriculture, industrial tasks in
factories, and even for
recreation and sports. The
construction industry,
however, seems to had
lagged behind the others
in terms of adopting these
technologies. Given the fact
that construction sites are
not appropriate for robots
and that tasks in this field are
much more complex than they
seem, manual laborers are
always the best choices. But
with the staggering decrease
in hiring qualified skilled
workers to do construction
works, robots then take over.

Mobile Apps to Make the
Construction Industry Efficient
These apps can help in
fostering a bidding market,
uphold client-bidder privacy,
track bids, secure data;
manage schedules,
checklists, and orders, save
up on physical space by
transitioning from paper to
digital, communicate more
clearly with your team, send
one another photos and
conversations, study cement-centric
data and, most
importantly, check up on the
users’ physical and mental
well-being, by reminding us to
not be afraid to take a break
and drink the proper amount
of fluids. These benefits are
shared among SmartBidNet,
Procore, Plan Grid, Truckast,
and the Occupational Health
and Safety Administration’s
(OSHA) Heat Safety Tool as
well.

Technology expectations
nowadays are indeed higher
and it is always disappointing
when we tend to get less
from what we thought we’d
get. However, like the saying
goes, it takes two to tango.
Management firms have to
choose wisely which
application/s is advantageous
to use for their business. They
are composed of people who
are bound to make wise
decisions. These will either
break or build them, the
possibility is endless. But,
construction management
always chooses to build.
Don’t keep getting buried with
paperwork and go mobile
today!

Women in Construction will
Improve the Industry
9% of the women-owned
construction firms earn more
than $500,000 because of
their effectiveness in their
jobs. Although only 25% of
Americans believe that we
are more likely to colonize
Mars than women dominating
half of the Fortune 500 CEOs,
it is still very apparent how
much the female construction
employees can do for their
companies.

The Latest Autonomous
Heavy Equipment Trends
Digital modeling paired with
autonomous machinery, can
indeed improve the quality
of construction. The faster a
construction project is built,
the more profit it can give to
the contractors and the more
value it can offer to the users.
With the benefits that
autonomous heavy equipment
can provide, future
construction sites will definitely
make use of them promising a
safer working environment.

Meet the Millennial Civil
Engineers
Incorporating and retaining
the young workers into the
company will mean a
significant change for the
bigger picture. This generation
provides the construction firm
with a defined path on what
to come next in the business,
most notably in the leadership,
marketing, and communication
aspects. Combine these traits
with their tech-savviness and
innovative minds, this young
generation is set to change the
course of the industry for the
better.
