Challenges Faced by Construction Managers in terms of
New Technology and Environment Stability
Australian construction industry faces several challenges in the management of complex
projects. The industry faces the challenges for the acquiring of the skilled workforce and also in
the adoption of the new technology in the day to day operations (Zujo, et al., 2017). Further,
the construction manager faces challenges in the sustainable development for reducing the
negative impact on the environment and making use of the sustainable practices at the
operational process. Here, the essay will discuss the challenges faced by the construction
manager in terms of new technology and also in terms of the environmental sustainability.
Technology has the capacity to transform the construction industry. Making investments in the
new and innovative technologies is still a challenge for the construction managers. The managers
face the challenges in the process and product innovations in the engineering and construction
sector which has improved the productivity and efficiency of the industries (Wang, et al.,
2017). The construction managers make use of the augmented reality, drones, autonomous
equipment and the building up of the materials which not only boost the productivity but also
streamline the project management. This can also enhance the quality and safety of the
construction process. Moreover, the construction manager brings the new technology in three
ways which are workforce, product and the process used. The use of technology can avail the
automation through the smart devices. The challenges are faced in terms of bringing the virtual
experience into the construction projects through the use of big data and analytics for making
engagements in real-time communication for the facilitation of the information (Chen, 2019).
The introduction of new technology in terms of the 3D printing which has a disruptive impact on
the construction industry. This has the capacity to gain the customized components at a much
lower cost. This is remained as a challenge for the construction industry for cutting down the
cost and bring economies of scale. The construction managers face challenge in the building up
of the smart equipment which can occur due to the technological advances that drives the cost of
the computing, data storage and sensors (World Economic Forum, 2016). This development
affects all built assets and sectors which are emerging as a result of the smart technology which
enables parking. However, there are certain issues faced by the construction manager which can
