Innovation In The Construction Industry

We have been looking for new ways to do things, to have an outcome of creating something new, which is also of value, where it also has an opportunity of identification, ideation or invention to development and ideas that are new to adopting organisation. This is what you call Innovation. Innovation involves incorporating new ideas which can give us an easier and efficiently help us through our works. Innovation plays a significant role in construction, not only to the people but to the company as well.

Imagine yourself in a common scene. You’re in a coffee shop. All around you people are drinking coffee, frappes, teas. Most people are socialising with friends, while others are using their mobile phones. Some people seems to be working

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) states that innovation is “The successful exploitation of new ideas” and that “it is the key business process that enables elite businesses to compete effectively in the increasingly competitive global environment.” Innovation within business is not always profit driven and the construction industry in particular has to find ways of changing its procedures and technology in order to adapt to increasing governmental and public concern for the environment. Innovation always has to be creative to imply new ideas. What does it mean to be “creative” in engineering and construction? For this kind of industry, the construction which is founded upon solving problems, creativity is a quality that is major or crucial to projects based on the laws of physics. Creativity is always behind to every improved material that changes its structures that would be conceived and every process that could help the streamline project schedules. Its as important as a life-saving safety development and as humble as a bit of job site thoughtfulness that make a client’s or customer;s day. Hillman (2016) said that creativity is best defined by how memorable it is. “Chances are that if you take the time to reflect on something that you have never seen or experienced before, then it probably qualifies as creative” he says. Also, some people seem to have multiple brilliant ideas, the process itself can be just as

These requires the teams, working on each construction project, to make daily adaptations to their processes and materials that fit the conditions with which they are faced. Innovation in construction is not easy nor straightforward. It entails improvement not only to the processes, but also to the products, materials, and services that the industry offers. Construction industry is constantly developing new ideas, incorporating these new ideas, and solving the needs of clients while increasing the ability to compete in ever-changing global economy. Companies must maximise their innovative skills by applying ideas and incorporating them into the company’s standardised management practices and processes. Thus, these innovative ideas can be manageable, measured, controlled and adopted at every level of a business’s operations, with the economic benefits contributing not only to the industry, but ultimately to the national economy.

In order to adopt to this innovation as standard practice within the construction industry, a company must undergo a process to standardise the innovation to know what their “standard” means. Standardisation ensures that the benefits to the enterprise will be
