The year 2020 was a very difficult one for even the best home construction companies
in India. This year again we had to endure a deadly second wave but now
things are rapidly resuming normalcy for the industry. However, as the new
normal has changed things drastically, the construction industry is faced with significant
new challenges, and innovative usage of advanced technologies in home
construction has become a necessity.
For any construction company in India, usage of
smart digital construction platforms helps in overcoming design problems,
inefficiencies, outdated and unsafe processes as well as the environmental
impact. In the new normal, there is also a shortage of labour and house construction companies
in particular are experiencing up to 30% - 40% drop in output, leading to
delays in project completion. While there are numerous benefits of using tech
in residential building
construction, here are four ways that the digital technology is going to
transform the home construction industry in the years ahead:
Planning and design
enhancement: Unlike the past where the architects would draw blueprints
on paper, modern house
building companies use digital and virtual software to create 3-d
designs and walkthrough of the proposed construction. This can give the
consumers a precise feel of how their home is going to look like and any
changes if felt can be done right at the visualisation stage instead of
incurring costs on altering something after it has been built. This not only
saves a lot of material wastage costs, but also speeds up the entire
construction process as making changes to a building design on computer is not
as time consuming as altering a part of the constructed structure. Further, the
virtual collaboration tools and online consultations enable exchange of
information and feedback in real-time even if in-person meetings are to be
avoided.
Safety:
Top home construction
contractors in India are already using cutting-edge technology platforms
to manage processes. The right usage of technology such as online platforms
with integrated planning, monitoring and surveillance systems and AI analytics
can make construction safer. For instance, prefab technology is being used in
almost every type of project nowadays, and data-driven standardization helps in
making the fabrication more reliable, consistent, faster and safer. Instead of
in-person supervision which often leaves gaps in monitoring, advanced
CCTV-based surveillance can enable controlling of the entire construction
activities from a single on-site or even remote command centre. Similarly, the
feed can be shared with the client to ensure real-time visibility of the
progress without a need for personal site-inspections.
Transparency:
One of the long-standing challenges faced by house construction contractors is that they are
considered to be opaque in their operations. The materials consumed, labourers
employed and various other factors lead to cost escalations, friction and often
delays or incomplete construction. However, digital processes can provide greater
accountability on the part of home construction contractor. The quantity and quality of
materials purchased, consumed and in-stock can be monitored on a day-to-day
basis, leading to greater trust and peace of mind for the customers.
Accuracy of timelines:
Smart digital technology driven platforms lead to tremendous time savings as
communication becomes real-time, payments are transferred digitally and
approvals as well as feedbacks are taken online. Computerized design processes
are also a lot more impactful, clear to understand and faster than the manual
designing processes. Further, prefabricated components and modules are used to
expedite the processes.
As one of the best home construction contactors in India,
HocoMoco has been using cutting-edge technology from the outset to address
challenges faced by the regular house construction contractors. The company has
deployed an end-to-end digital platform which covers all aspects of the
construction process starting from signing of the contract to the handover of
the completed project. HocoMoco offers complete transparency, ability to
construct houses as per the client’s budget, and regularly delivers projects on
time, even in the post-pandemic times. Moreover, the usage of advanced
technology, material consumption forecasting through AI analytics etc enables
HocoMoco to offer a price guarantee which implies that once the contract is
signed, there will be no cost escalations during the construction stage. The
company is already ranked among the best house construction companies in Hyderabad and now aims to
become renowned as the best
home builders in India.
By 2030, nearly 40% Indians will leave in the urban
areas and contributing 75% of the GDP. Millions of new houses will need to be
built to accommodate this population and technology is going to be pivotal in
achieving that target.
