Construction Technology
Technology in construction has revolutionized infrastructure development, improving efficiency, safety, and quality in building projects. In modern times, construction sites that continue to rely on outdated methods face delays, cost overruns, and safety risks. Construction technology involves the use of advanced techniques, machinery, and materials to build residential, commercial, and industrial structures efficiently and sustainably.
There are many types of construction technologies, from hand tools and power equipment to concrete machinery, prefabrication systems, and building information modeling (BIM). These tools are used in both urban and rural construction projects. Especially with the rise of smart cities and green infrastructure, construction technology has become an indispensable part of modern development and civil engineering.
