Your commercial operations have undoubtedly been affected by dramatic changes in 2020 and the early part of 2024.

Explore the 2024 building trends to see how Tech 24 Construction can help you plan and implement a new space in Alexandria, VA, and the surrounding areas.

Commercial Space Trends

The ways in which businesses think about their commercial spaces have changed in many ways in 2024. The trends in commercial construction are partly due to changes in construction methods, but they’re also affected by company designs. Here are some ways you may want to alter your plan as you work with a leading construction company in your area.

Flexible Supply Chains

2020 was a year of major and minor disruptions in the supply chain. These disruptions created major headaches for companies around the Alexandria area. Part of your goal in creating a new commercial space may be to secure a more responsive supply chain. New storage areas, expanded manufacturing possibilities, and other opportunities can help you avoid unnecessary disruptions in the future.

Take some time to evaluate your business relationships. Discuss your goals with your suppliers, distributors, and other business partners to see what you can do to improve your supply chain. Other businesses may have made significant changes in the past year, so it may be time to forge new relationships.

Alternative Construction Possibilities

On a brighter note, 2024 is set to offer many new construction methods and technologies to create cost-effective, safe buildings. Discuss building options with our team at Tech 24 Construction to see how you can take advantage of the latest in building technology.

Modular construction is one way commercial contractors are reducing project deadlines and costs. Unlike manufactured homes and other prefabricated solutions, modular designs use the highest quality of building materials to offer you the same reliable commercial space.

Concrete technology is also making promising strides. Self-mending concrete is being explored as a highly intelligent, long-lasting building material. Discuss the materials we use at Tech 24 Construction to learn more about the latest in wood and concrete products.

Artificial Intelligence and Building Information Modeling

The software in the construction industry is using artificial intelligence to streamline a number of engineering and estimation services. The latest tools can use this technology to offer rapid stress test figures, set a project timeline, or create a project cost estimate.

Designers are also using technological advancements to streamline their role in your project. Building information modeling is the newest way that designers can create, review, and edit plans. These plans are available in a cloud-based format that often includes 4D, 5D, or 6D functionality.

Remote Technology in Construction Projects

Some contractors use drones to view job sites, monitor safe features, and take instant aerial images of the project. While drone technology has been available for some time, it’s growing particularly rapidly in the construction industry. It allows for improved safety during the process and the possibility of more remote work around the job site.
