Trimble has released 10 predictions for the construction industry in 2025, covering various technological trends including artificial intelligence (AI) and reality capture. The predictions were made by in-house experts who foresee significant changes to the industry in the coming years.
According to the predictions, AI and Machine Learning (ML) will be a major trend in 2025, with potential to transform the construction industry by improving efficiency, decision-making, and productivity. Technology integration and interoperability will also be a focus, as contractors seek solutions that can work well together within their tech stack.
Precise positioning using GNSS technology is expected to become even more accurate, while the construction industry can anticipate changes resulting from the extended joint venture between Trimble and Caterpillar. This partnership aims to make technology more accessible and usable across different equipment brands, leading to better data sharing and decision-making.
Worksite safety is another key prediction, with advancements in technology expected to make job sites safer and more efficient through tools like drones and reality capture. The industry will also continue to address the labor shortage by investing in technology solutions that can help offset the challenges associated with fewer workers.
Subscription services for technology hardware and software will continue to grow in popularity, while robotics, automation, and autonomous machines are expected to play a significant role in the future of construction. Architects and designers will increasingly adopt AI-powered tools to streamline tasks and improve collaboration in architectural design.
