INTRODUCTION
Construction industry is leveraging technology very effectively in order to make the
management of construction sites and operations more sustainable and efficient. In terms of
technology and innovation, the construction industry trends include business information
modelling, artificial intelligence etc. A reflective writing is the representation of own experience
in particular situation in precise manner thereby identification of weak areas that must be
improved through appropriate action plan. The present report is the reflection on the topic
“technology and innovation in construction industry”. The report will include a reflection on
learning and development process of above topic. Further there is outline how learning is helpful
in future studies and development plan. In the end the report contains personal development plan.
MAIN BODY
A reflection on the learning and development process of innovation and technology in the
construction industry
The module studied by me was on the topic “Innovation and technology in construction
industry”. In the introductory part of this module I have learnt about the basic concept of the
construction industry. I have understood about the functions and operations of the construction
industry through a general definition of construction industry. With this I have learnt about the
role of innovation and technology in the construction industry and how rapidly it is growing the
particular industry. This helped me to understand that technology and innovation in this industry
is helpful in providing more sustainability to the construction industry. This helped me to learn
and expand my knowledge on innovation and technology and construction industry.
Further in the next session of the module I learned about the innovation and technology
impacts on the build environment. In this I have gained learning about the concept of the
artificial intelligence and machine learning. Here I learned research skills to research deeply into
the topic that include two different subjects and there role with each other. Here I learned that
how artificial and machine learning technology help the construction industry in managing
complexities of construction sites. I learned about how machine learning as a technology assist
the construction industry in decision making and also optimize the workflow. Also I have
learned that this type of technology help the business of construction industry in forecasting of
future outcomes.
