2030: Construction
Construction : We used to send people and materials to a site in order for a building to be assembled. Now, we generally assemble the building offsite with robotic technology and 3D printing technologies, and send it to the site for final quick, fast assembly. Essentially, we've gone from building homes on site to building them in factories. AI and...
Construction : We used to send people and materials to a site in order for a building to be assembled. Now, we generally assemble the building offsite with robotic technology and 3D printing technologies, and send it to the site for final quick, fast assembly. Essentially, we've gone from building homes on site to building them in factories. AI and robots drive this manufacturing process - brick laying robotic masons are everywhere, as is the ability to 3D print in concrete. We've also seen the continual arrival of all kinds of new material science and new concepts - solar energy generating windows, anticipatory smart building technology and more.

Construction : We used to send people and materials to a site in order for a building to be assembled. Now, we generally assemble the building offsite with robotic technology and 3D printing technologies, and send it to the site for final quick, fast assembly. Essentially, we’ve gone from building homes on site to building them in factories. AI and robots drive this manufacturing process - brick laying robotic masons are everywhere, as is the ability to 3D print in concrete. We’ve also seen the continual arrival of all kinds of new material science and new concepts - solar energy generating windows, anticipatory smart building technology and more.
