It’s an exciting time to be a part of the construction industry which is undergoing massive change in terms of sustainability, technology and innovation. As the year begins to draw to a close, we thought we would delve into the construction trends shaping 2023. Carry on reading to find out more...
Sustainable buildings
As the construction sector moves towards net-zero, we are seeing more and more environmentally friendly building practices. This is a trend that will definitely continue into 2023, with homeowners and clients increasingly interested in more sustainable properties. Not only do greener building practices benefit the environment, but could also save the client money on their energy bills over time, hence their increasing popularity. It’s a win-win.
3D printing
This technology is vastly improving and has helped the construction industry to create complex structures, as well as cutting down on building time and cost. There is also excitement around the possibilities that 3D printing opens up for housing shortages. This is because it produces homes that are more affordable for those unable to buy (as well as more energy efficient!).
Modular design
The modular design process is where a building is constructed offsite and then assembled on-site, saving time and resources. Modular design is increasing in popularity amongst contractors and clients due to its efficiency and one we’re sure we’ll see a lot more of in the new year.
Staffing shortages
According to research by Construction Skills Network, 2.78m construction workers will be needed by 2026 in order to meet increasing demand. In order to tackle this problem, construction companies must improve their hiring processes to promote diversity and attract new talent to the construction field.
