McKinsey’s reporting finds that construction is the least technologically developed industry, alongside agriculture and hunting. According to MGI’s digitization index, the U.S. construction comes second to last, and in Europe it is in last position on the index.

The global pandemic has had a significant impact on the construction industry worldwide. Many of the industry professionals are still working from home – project managers, architects, and many more. This has boosted remote construction monitoring services to become a new normal.

When scheduling a building construction project, the flooring installation and the related concrete slab drying time is major factor. The industry best practice is to let the concrete dry at least for 28 days per inch of the slab.

The new ePredict™ prediction tool, as a part of the eGate 2.0 cloud platform, will forecast the drying time of the concrete slab during the building construction project. This will significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of the project scheduling.

Controlling and mitigating the airborne dust in healthcare construction is important. But that only represents half of the job. Today the best dust control programs also monitor the performance of the dust removal – by using air particle sensors and differential pressure sensors in areas where the excess dust can become a problem.

New cloud connected IoT sensors make construction jobsite measurement easier than before. With wireless offsite connectivity, contractors can work smarter – not harder.

Construction firms are starting to come around on tech adoption. Contractors that are implementing construction technology are benefitting from increased productivity, better collaboration, and completing projects on time and under budget. Wireless sensors are the latest addition to the technology mix, playing critical role in keeping project teams connected to construction site environmental conditions.
