Arcadis Construction, Engineering & Design by GineersNow Drones & Technologies in Construction Industry | Page 8

The construction industry has gone a long way already. With
today’s modern technology, it’s no longer about constructing a
simple building anymore. Nowadays, several companies compete
in building better smart cities, using 3D printing to turn plastic
bottles into sturdy structures and designing skyscrapers that hang
from an asteroid. The evolution of the construction industry has
taken men to great heights and the world has yet to see the next
big “new” thing.
