- Modular Construction on the Rise: <\/strong>The advantages of modular construction were observed over a decade ago, however, the COVID-19 led pandemic highlighted the need to utilize the technology to design and build homes, offices, or even hospitals speedily. Businesses must consider modular construction as it is fast, flexible, and less wasteful than traditional building. The epicenter of the pandemic, Wuhan, used modular construction technology to build a 1,000-bed Huoshenshan facility and the 1,600-bed Leishenshan Hospital built in under 2 weeks to cater to the demand for quarantine centers, temporary lodgings, and more. Besides the medical industry, modular construction has far-reaching benefits due to its quick and flexible nature.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- Construction will shift towards Adaptive Reuse: <\/strong>Traditional construction is one of the biggest contributors to waste, however, 2021 has offered a new perspective to construction with adaptive reuse – where the existing structures can be used to serve new purposes. This is an efficient and sustainable approach to design new spaces, without having the trouble to go through a 4-6 months construction period and not adding to the on-going waste problem. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Adaptive reuse architecture allows the building owners to save money, time, and resources and reinvent the space for any purpose that seems fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you know: <\/em><\/strong>New Orleans Convention Centre has been turned into a 3,000-bed complex, and New York\u2019s Javits Centre has also been converted into a 2,900-bed facility using adaptive reuse architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Flexible Building Designs: <\/strong>The increasingly evident need to have make-shift spaces has come to the limelight during the pandemic, not just for medical or quarantine purposes but also to reshape the home, office, or any complex space to meet the present needs. This design and construction industry is not new, yet has encouraged construction firms or BIM consulting firms<\/a><\/strong> to look towards the AD-APT system. This approach will allow the developers to plan, design floor plans with more flexibility, and allocate space differently as per the dynamic needs of the structure occupants, such that it can be modified in the future.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- Installation of Air Filtration Systems: <\/strong>While previously installing air filtration systems were considered to be a luxury, now it will become a prerequisite. To create a healthy, safe environment for the occupants, installing a high-caliber air filtration system as per the WELL-Building standard is vital. Getting onboard a team of highly experienced MEP Design consultants in California<\/a><\/strong> can help overcome HVAC challenges and make the property as safe as possible. The consultant will focus on:<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- Minimizing any source of air pollution in the building.<\/li>
- Using effective ventilation to keep air pollutants at safe levels for humans.<\/li>
- Installing high-quality systems for direct removal of air pollutants.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Despite the uncertainties the AEC industry had to face in 2020, it has come out strong with new developments and technological advancements. The on-going pandemic has not only questioned the various norms and aspects of construction, but has also given a new direction for improvements. The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the Building Design, Engineering and Construction, and has created
