Solving the Construction Labor Shortage with Robotics, AI and Virtual Reality: An Insight into Industry’s Technological Advancements

The construction industry is facing a severe labour shortage that has been amplified by poor communication technology. Effective communication is crucial for the construction process, and our technology offers real-time collaboration, document sharing, progress tracking, and reporting to help solve these problems.

To combat labor shortages, robotics and automation are being utilized for tasks such as bricklaying, demolition, and 3D printing of building components. Drones are also increasingly being used for site surveys and inspections, reducing manual labor and enhancing safety. AI and machine learning are optimizing project management and resource allocation, with predictive analytics helping anticipate labor needs and mitigate risks.

Virtual and augmented reality are being used for training purposes, allowing workers to gain experience in a simulated environment before entering the job site. Many trade contract businesses are implementing software to run their operations efficiently, achieving a tenfold increase in job volume without additional resources.
