The Importance of Technology in Construction
The goal of a construction project and as a construction project engineer is to build the project as efficiently and cost effective as possible. Technology, when implemented correctly, helps us as contractors build more accurately, quickly, and efficiently. There is a great push to adopt more technology in the industry as we have seen very little growth in the construction industry in terms of worker efficiency when compared to industries like manufacturing. There is some useless construction technology out there, however, so you need to do your due diligence on each “best new thing” out there and make sure it makes sense for your company.
Construction Drawings
This isn’t really super new technology, but I think it’s interesting to go over. Personally I prefer physical paper drawings, but now you can have entire drawing sets just on your iPad. Digital drawings have helped us get answers and construction details quickly and easier to read. However, my issue with this is that the convenience of the technology has made us lazier and not as thorough in the creation of drawing sets. Details are just copy pasted from previous projects and may not be applicable. So it’s definitely beneficial to have these digital drawings, but keep in mind the quality may not necessarily be there.
Construction Modeling and Coordination
3D modeling is huge for construction coordination. To build the project in the model, prior to work in the field, makes everyone much more efficient. The planning involved is so worth it to avoid headaches in the field. The more you can do ahead of time, the better. Modeling and coordination can be done through programs like Navisworks, 3D modeling can also be done in Revit and possible 3D CAD (haven’t used this). Companies also prefabricate materials off of modeling as well so it just all around is such an important part of the construction process.
Construction Equipment
Nowadays equipment is trying to make strides in the industry. Self climbing formwork, drones, 4D scanners, and autonomous/remote controlled vehicles and equipment help give us more information and efficiencies that we haven’t had before. Again, there can be some gimmicky things out there, but there are so many other options out there that really improve productivity. They will likely come at a cost, but over time you’ll save on labor and that’s the name of the game.
Augmented Reality (AR)
I haven’t seen this yet in construction, but I see the potential here. A lot of people, especially owners, since they aren’t looking at drawings constantly, it can be hard for them to envision the 2D drawings into real life. AR can be such a great communication tool to show construction issues or progress and explain how things will get done.
Robots
Though I think there will always need to be a human element to a construction project, you can’t deny that there are some human error inefficiencies out there. Having robots should minimize mistakes made by human judgements, emotions and hopefully can lift, a move better than a human leading to more production. I think we are still a few decades away here for full blown robots, but you can’t deny the appeal of creating a more efficient workforce.

With a background in Electrical engineering and interest in construction, Is a career in Augmented Reality within construction a viable option today is the industry not there yet to need engineers in this?
Hello Kienen, I hope you are doing well. I am a recent fresher for Masters in Construction Management Technology. Could you please make a video on which iPad should construction graduates buy for Drawings and editing them?
Sir , will u plz make a video on scope for international students to do masters in USA , about jobs for fresher civil engineer in umUSA and scope of civil engineering in usa
Nice vid. Greetings from Bolivia, I want to ask something. How the concrete reinforced is paid in the US? Is concrete pouring, formwork, etc all separately or all is take it in one activity . Also how about the rebar? It is paid separately from concrete? Because you know, in seismic zone there is much rebar in the elements.
Is construction management and Construction Engineering the same? Bruh, I don’t really know what is the different and what degree you need?
Really appreciate your work in putting these videos together Kienen! They're very informative and insightful. Keep em coming. Thank you!
3D Printing is another cool technological advancement in construction industry!
Awesome video Kienen, I never really knew how tech was implemented in construction. Great examples as well!
Hey Kienen, I'm a junior civil engineering major at Loyola Marymount University and I'm really interested in construction engineering. I'm also born and raised in Hawaii and currently doing online school back home on Oahu. I love the youtube videos and would love to shadow you or just observe so I can gain real life work experience as an engineer. Please let me know if something like this is possible. Feel free to reach out to my instagram, @noahkinder.
Hello Kienen, I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos and it gives me a lot of excitement to finish college. I am a first generation college student majoring in construction management and do you make me want to keep going! Just wanted to say keep up the good work!
AR in construction makes so much sense! I know some customers pay big money for actual size models to be built in warehouses to make sure they like everything. That would really ease some concerns!
Pretty interesting to see some parallels to the automotive industry. It’s easier to justify automation on the assembly line with cars because you’re building the same thing over and over again, whereas buildings can be more one-off. Maybe automation will be more applicable in projects with repetition, like a subdivision?
The controversial topic of robots would be an interesting discussion point in a classroom. The visualization of the projects is really cool! Do you happen to know of any "easier" or less industry-specific ways that perhaps students could visualize their building ideas?
