Industrialized construction trends highlighted at Modern Construction Show

The Modern Construction Show, held in São Paulo, highlighted the growing importance of industrialization and the combination of different construction systems to increase productivity and efficiency in the building sector. Experts at the event noted that labor shortages and rising costs are primary drivers for adopting industrialized methods.

Industry leaders emphasized that while sectors like shopping centers, logistics hubs, and datacenters have already seen significant progress through industrialization, there is growing potential in commercial buildings and housing. The integration of various systems is seen as essential to maximize project performance.

A seminar organized by the Associação Brasileira da Construção Industrializada de Concreto (ABCIC) focused on the challenges of concrete application in housing and technological development. Discussions centered on the need for better collaboration between architects, engineers, developers, and manufacturers to modernize the industry. International perspectives were also shared, showcasing modular construction and prefabricated concrete solutions designed to reduce construction time and carbon footprints.
