This can inevitably be daunting, but there are also plenty of reasons to be optimistic. Let’s look at 5 trends that 2023 will bring for the construction industry.
The construction industry is becoming increasingly pressured to use sustainable materials in insulation. This has led to the creation and development of new building materials that meet these standards. As the world moves toward more green solutions, eco-friendly insulation is becoming a massive trend, that will only become more essential.
New ways to insulate include:
The most common areas of the home affected by damp and mould tend to be windows, ceilings and walls. This can be a huge issue as they are likely to eventually cause respiratory problems, if not dealt with.
Reasons why damp can develop include:
So damp-proofing homes is a definite trend for 2023, as the energy crisis shows no signs of improving and everyone from homeowners to housing associations will want to protect their properties and save future costs.
Investment in technology is a trend that will only keep growing over the next decade. The use of robotics, machine learning and AI will improve productivity and increase efficiency as they are able to automate tasks to save time and labour costs.
Tracking the progress of a project, improving communication and creating a safer working environment are some of the many benefits digital tech will bring. Examples of digital tech include-
Structures built off-site and transported to the chosen destination are a trend that is coming back into construction fashion. Originating in the late 1800s, London carpenter Henry Manning created a prefabricated building that could be shipped across the world, known as the Manning cottage.
And as the construction industry can be a cyclical one, it is perhaps no great surprise that prefabricated homes have become popular in the UK again. Their unique construction method offers control and freedom of design, as well as fewer concerns about the environmental impact of the build. You just need a plot of land big enough for the finished product!
It is a very positive thing that possibly the most popular construction trend going into 2023, is sustainability. Using eco-friendly building materials is big business and will only continue to increase. Much more cost-effective than traditional building methods, options include:
