As an industry, we need to do more to educate folks on how to use the technologies and solutions already available to us to facilitate a more sustainable future."


Communication Gap Will Continue to Close

Michael Milligan

Michael Milligan
Engineering Manager, SSEN Transmission

"Speaking about the Transmission Industry in which I work, I expect 2024 will see the communication gap close further between site staff and those in the office, the technology is there for site staff to be able to share day to day thoughts via the cloud, and capture this against documentation and designs. Likewise with site observations being more visible in the design office, decisions on change, risk and programme will be more informed. Which should lead to more two way communication between these geographically disconnected teams. The technology has been available for a long time, however the people who drive change will see a real need to implement due to the project growth within the Transmission industry. Digital ways of working will continue to expand out with the traditional roles of engineers and project managers to all areas of the project teams. With people empowered to manage improvement in there own areas, processes will change at pace and hopefully the admin burden of looking for information and chasing actions drops."


Expect New Technology Breakthroughs in Construction in 2024

James Mize
Digital Delivery Specialist, CRB

"I believe that the construction industry will continue most of the big trends from last year while infusing them with the recent advancements in technology to drive them further. Meanwhile, other areas of the industry will have grasped last year's advancements and begin to rethink current workflows to find totally new ways of doing things. Last year we saw a lot of new technology that needs to be tested and structured before fully implementing. This year, I predict we will see several breakthroughs built off technology from last year to define better workflows for years to come.

Broadly speaking, I expect trends such as the accelerated adoption of BIM, the advancements of autonomous construction, design for manufacturing and assembly, and the implementation of reality capture/AR-VR to continue. Each of these are trends that have been growing in our industry and despite recent industry challenges, will benefit from the use and adoption of AI/ML.

I also predict many companies will hit the reset button after last year’s advancements, to absorb the rapid and unyielding breakthroughs with AI and other influential technology. They will need time to process, plan, and act with new purpose to ensure the new ways of working fit our cultures and serve our clients.

As a result of hitting the pause button, I believe that data will then move to the forefront of many discussions and workflows throughout the industry but with new urgency. The trend I expect to emerge is how firms handle data. I expect them to consolidate data sources and inputs to the project data thread to clean up redundant data. I expect to see organization of existing data to transform how it can be used alongside other data in the future. Finally, a strategy for how construction industry companies enter, collect, harness, and use their data. Each of these will set up a more sustainable future for the industry.

While many will recognize this opportunity, I believe there will be startups and innovative groups that will begin to rethink how we work as it relates to things such as conceptual & generative design, construction optimization & tracking, and turnover/digital twin. I predict these will become the new pillars of delivery/execution across the industry as we move away from disconnected workflows, manually recreating redundant data, and a piece-meal approach to handover.

For many, this is a year to reshape the way we work, built off the successes of last year. Many will recognize that technology should no longer support traditional approaches, merely continuing the past but to re-define these systems entirely to fit the way in which we need to build for the future. With the state of construction technology and the advancements happening outside of the industry, we have the imperative to take advantage of the opportunities before us. This is why I believe the industry will break through with opportunities surrounding digital twins, generative design, and other more automated processes. For digital twins I expect breakthroughs in how we use and connect IoT for handover to operations. I predict we will see breakthroughs with generative design for more than layouts and solar/wind analysis. Finally, breakthroughs with more automated processes such as BIM analysis, construction sequencing, and document management will transform the way we build for the better.

The last trend I expect to emerge is centered on a new sense of efficiency for how things could be done. I believe we will find new ways to reduce wastefulness in many of the traditional design-construction delivery methods/processes. This will be the case because we now have tools at our fingertips to help us collaborate, learn, adapt, and absorb better than ever. This will lead to better decision making, less waste during the design process, and higher efficiency as it relates to building assembly across the industry."

"To me, I’m most excited about the trend of retrofitting buildings in 2024. Take urban centers like London, for example. The focus is on retaining the existing building fabric and evaluating its potential for another century of use. This involves intense evaluations of thermal performance, occupancy comfort, and structural integrity. But the goal is to strike a balance between minor interventions and full demolition, with a preference for preserving and enhancing the existing structure.

This is every single project we are working on now, and we know it requires an increased data footprint, as multiple laser scans, survey models, and engineering models are utilized throughout the retrofitting process. In turn, we can get more accurate assessments to inform decision-making. Retrofitting buildings presents an amazing opportunity and challenge for the industry to embrace responsible and sustainable practices, and we should be moving towards it as the default approach."


Gen Z Has Entered the Jobsite – Or Have They?

Allison Scott
Director, Customer Experience & Industry Advocacy, Autodesk

"There’s no denying that our workforce in construction has continued a steep decline over the years. As seasoned professionals retired, we’re officially no longer replacing 1:1 the talent we have lost. Glassdoor recently reported that Gen Z will officially overtake Boomers in the workforce in 2024. However, as Gen Z enters the workforce and many millennials are now squarely in management roles looking for advancement, we will continue to see the acceleration of digital transformation of this industry pressured in part by these digital natives. This is assuming, of course, we can convince them to come to this industry, and more importantly, stay. This means we’ll see a trend on more retention programs that clearly demonstrate dynamic career progression, reward open-source innovation, and support a culture of learning and development. Construction is a “site based” industry. So while others in corporate culture wrestle with return-to-work mandates, we’ll actually see construction firms take a more balanced approach to remote working and flexibility where possible to encourage retention as employees demand more work/life balance. Additionally, more open and up-front discussions on mental health will take center stage as the industry pushes an evolving culture that is more inclusive and supportive of the health of our people, not just the health of the project.      

Together, we can do more – Communities become central to accelerate adoption

The role of online communities to share knowledge is not new. However, for construction they are reaching a tipping point that has become required, especially as individuals wrestle with the technology onslaught and how to get teams to adopt new methodologies. Digital champions in construction have been working to expand knowledge in their tight circles, or in the safety of their own jobsites, for years, but we’ll see people seeking broader swaths of knowledge outside of their typical spheres. As firms press forward into more advanced workflows, internal champions need access to folks who are experiencing the same growing pains or who have already “crossed the chasm.” And while cornerstone online communities like Linkedin, Reddit, or Forums are amazing places to find like-minds and technical advice, newer spaces like TikTok and YouTube will also grow as a new generation of influencers and practitioners help amplify both why digital transformation in construction matters and how to do it. We’ll also see gamified spaces like our online construction community The Big Room continue to expand as a place that provides both rich peer insights and incentivizes learning, feedback, and networking."

Mark Jason Villanueva
Corporate BIM Manager, Newcon Builders Pte. Ltd.

"Trends in 2024 are going to be a wild ride. Digital Twins will be more enhanced and advanced. They will offer automated real-time insights, decision support, predict project delays, and identify potential risks.

Remote work will be a thing in the construction industry. From controlling the cranes, trucks, and other construction vehicles remotely to off-site construction, such as prefabrication and modulars are going to be the new norm facilitated by a 3D printer. Smart buildings are going to be there with sensors that keep tabs and automate everything."


Continued Rise of XR

Ross Wagner
Manager, Technical Solutions, Autodesk

"One construction trend I’m particularly excited about is the continued rise of extended reality (XR). With more advanced hardware devices available today, we can now leverage XR in various project stages, from design to preconstruction and even during construction. This presents exciting opportunities to optimize some big pain points in the industry by utilizing XR technologies. Compounded with all the innovations we are seeing in AI right now, I think the industry is on a fast trajectory to open endless new possibilities to improve design reviews, clash detection, and on-site coordination in the next 5-10 years."


Removing Data Silos Through Advanced Technologies

May Winfield
Global Director of Commercial, Legal and Digital Risks, Solicitor, Buro Happold

"The combination of certain technologies is going to drive significant improvements in the industry moving forward. For instance, the integration of blockchain, smart contracts, digital twins, and AI is going to transform the industry in unique ways; helping to remove data silos. Clients are becoming more informed and specific in their requirements, moving away from generic requests for BIM or digital twins. We are likely going to hear clients become more prescriptive about what they want delivered.

Over the next decade, we can expect a wave of even greater integrated technology in construction. This transformation will be reminiscent of the shift from fax machines to email, where there was a great bit of initial resistance. Younger generations are already accustomed to digital solutions and will drive the faster adoption of technology."


Construction's Data Driven Future

John Lim Ji Xiong
Chief Digital Officer, Gamuda Bhd

"In 2024, I think construction industry trends will morph from BIM and 3D modeling to more data-driven topics such as building dashboards, AI, and managing project data. BIM has become something that is mature in the industry and is a requirement in a lot of tenders. However, in the drive to modernize and improve, construction companies will be looking to drive efficiency and transparency through data in order to build better projects."


Situational Awareness, Quantum Computing, and Sustainability in Technology and Business Practices

Tomislav Zigo
Chief Technology Officer, Clayco

"I believe three key areas are poised to drive significant changes in the industry this year and well into the future.

Firstly, the concept of situational awareness is gaining traction. This approach integrates various aspects of the construction process, elevating our understanding of the project, labor, and overall project delivery ecosystem. The trend is to institutionalize situational awareness across all projects, enhancing data-driven decision-making for greater project success.

Secondly, I strongly believe in the vast potential of quantum computing. We’ve been on the verge of its realization for some time, but advancements in this field are accelerating. There is a world of emerging technologies that will soon have a substantial impact on the construction industry and the Quantum computing's potential to revolutionize the industry should not be overlooked.

Finally, integrating sustainability into both technology and business practices is becoming increasingly important. It is not just about sustainable technology but also about the sustainability of our society and the responsible management of resources. Focusing on these fundamental changes and objectives will be crucial for AEC companies if they want to stay relevant beyond the next 5 to 10 years."
