Automation in RealEstate industry
#Sustainability
2023-10-03Completely eliminating human error is impossible, but removing humans from situations where they can make mistakes is not only possible but feasible right now.
Architects have been using software capable of autonomously predicting performance and costs for some time. Today, we can test and virtually visit projects and industrialize them. The next step must be to directly translate digital models into real constructions, without losing information in the process, minimizing potential issues on the construction site. These issues are not fundamentally technical but often simple communication difficulties.
The truth is that the construction industry is still lagging behind, and this, according to recent research, costs around 30%. Not all design firms are equipped for this, but while the project can be virtually 3D printed, construction sites are still largely equipped with sand, shovels, a bucket, and tattered drawings to interpret.
Of course, larger construction groups are more organized, but digitalization is accessible to everyone. In general, there is much that can be done now. We have the means, and I would say 30% more reasons.Let’s not forget that the correspondence between what is designed and what is built determines the results, not only in economic terms but also artistically because, as someone has said, the difference between a work of art and trash is imperceptible (but visible).
