The construction sector was one of the main branches impacted in the economy. After all, it’s no news that the crisis caused by the pandemic of the new coronavirus, also known as Covid-19, affected various segments. Whether it’s an industry of barcode labels, a retail store, law office, among others.

However, since the construction sector is directly linked to the growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), it is not uncommon to observe difficulties faced over the years as the country’s economy fluctuates. One example was the crisis from 2012 to 2014.

Nevertheless, just as the sector overcame the previous crisis, it is ready to face any challenges ahead. Especially if combined with technological advances and the expansion of the internet, which allow for cost reductions and increased performance.

Home Office

Remote work was adopted by thousands of companies in response to the coronavirus crisis, as a way to reduce the spread of the disease.

This is what a survey conducted by the coordinator of the MBA program in Marketing and Digital Business Intelligence at Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), André Miceli, indicates.

According to the study, the home office work model is expected to jump by 30% after the period of social distancing. Various sectors, including industrial ones, like the production of fire doors, are partially opting for home office.

For many construction professionals, such as a construction site coordinator, safety technician, among others, the home office becomes a differentiator, as this type of system promotes better communication among them, in addition to allowing the enterprise to make more planned decisions.

Cloud Computing

Another innovation being utilized in the construction sector, as well as in industries, such as in laser cutting sectors, for example, is cloud computing.

In turn, cloud computing can make all business data and files more accessible to all members of a project, ensuring that performance is optimized.

Automated Spreadsheets

By using automated spreadsheets, it is possible to have a more accurate schedule regarding construction planning and business management.

These technological sources also reduce the margin of errors and the time spent on their preparation, allowing the construction company more time to develop strategies and connect with its clients amidst the crisis.

Solutions Amidst the Crisis

The Brazilian Chamber of Construction Industry (CBIC) launched, on March 19, 2020, a specialized channel for construction companies to be attended and address their doubts, report problems, and find new solutions for their businesses.

The channel is called “How Can CBIC Help You Today?”, and its proposal is to gather demands and seek solutions to address social and economic cases within the construction sector.

Finally, with the necessary assistance and new technologies, the construction sector is on the path to progress and the advancement and development of the country. And you, did you like the post?

Solutions Amidst the Crisis

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.

With 93 companies selling armored vehicles, aircraft, and monitoring systems to 148 countries, Brazil’s defense industry is doubling exports and is on track to break all records in 2026.

Brazil and Sweden finalize a military agreement to jointly train pilots, share experiences with the Gripen fighter, and allow Swedish crews of the KC-390 to train on Brazilian soil over the next two years.

Scientists warn that Earth’s oxygen has an expiration date and that the Sun itself will be responsible for ending the air we breathe by making photosynthesis impossible in about one billion years.

Science reveals that the error in the expansion of the cosmos is not a measurement flaw, but rather a sign that the universe may be hiding new physics capable of changing everything we know.
