2021 Trends in the Construction Industry

As we charge into a new year, we expect that the construction industry will pivot according to the needs of our society, whether it’s providing more housing for the homeless or creating safe spaces during a lockdown. Here are a few up-and-coming construction trends we believe we’ll see more of this year.

Prefabricated & Modular Construction

As efficiency, sustainability, and corporate responsibility become more important each and every day, prefabricated and modular construction continues to grow in its appeal. Emphasizing reduced time, increased versatility, high performance, and low cost, prefabricated structures are popping up all over the world as more and more companies and corporations realize the overall advantages to this method of building. Thanks to new technological innovations, these structures are often just as, if not more, durable than conventional buildings.

We are proud to be Sprung Structures’ No. 1 Preferred NorCal Vendor, building prefabricated structures all over the Bay Area for corporations such as Amazon and Tesla, as well as Navigation Centers for people experiencing homelessness. We have seen firsthand the positive impact of this innovation on our society, and it is undeniably changing the world of construction.

Commercial Building Revisions

As schools, offices, manufacturing, and healthcare facilities begin or continue to operate this year, owners are thinking about new, innovative ways to facilitate safe, healthy environments and social distancing. We can envision a focus of function over form, as rules and regulations are constantly changing.

Virtual Design

Building Information Modeling and Virtual Design are changing the scope of pre-construction and project management as they advance in intelligence. With the rapid development of drone imaging and virtual reality, we can anticipate the production of more accurate and lifelike digital blueprints to help construction teams, like us, better envision the projects we’re building. Here are a few programs and apps our team has been using to keep all our data and shared files organized.

Here at G&G Builders, we are so excited about the projects we’ve broken ground on, and we’re also looking forward to meeting and working with new clients this year. It’s going to be a good one.
