european companies will build prefab exterior enclosure to retrofit old construction without displacing residents https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03787...
New construction:
Integrated Project Delivery - AI could solve the problem of aligning stakeholders possibly
Applying scrum/lean to construction -
BIM - there is a lot of data in a building and BIM standards are putting everything into one file,
digital twins: lidar and cameras and ai are all getting better where high accuracy scans can create as built digital twins while referencing BIM file to build it.
lifecycle analysis and building automation: precooling and preheating spaces, I believe we should have better rubric for valuing existing properties eg a window is an asset and a liability (many owners do not account for replacement costs leading to buildings in disrepair)
skilled labor - mixed reality education: if there is a digital twin then worker could use augmented reality to see preferred methods to make that happen while being credentialed and upskilling (crazy brick facades become possible)
Hadrian robot competitors: crane placing concrete blocks autonomously
It's still a small % of houses built, but it's very cost effective and getting better (and more common)
