Signage for Building & Construction by Architectural Signs, Sydney

Revenue growth for the commercial and industrial building construction industry has fluctuated over the past five years, corresponding with investment trends in the office, retail, and warehouse building markets. The industry is projected to display marginal revenue growth of an annualised 1.1% over the five years through 2016-17, to reach $33 billion. Construction contractors also benefited from the accelerated growth of investment in hotels and transport building construction, including the construction of the new Gold Coast Airport terminal, and the underground Perth Bus port.
In the building and construction industry, efficiency is what they're all about. If a project runs efficiently and the schedule, the likelihood of them saving money is much higher.
Five of the biggest trending methods in the building and construction industry (*internet source):
- Pre-fab Construction
As builders and all key stakeholders within the construction industry grapple with increased pressure to maintain efficiency amid building delays and unpredictable weather events, one particular construction method is gaining momentum - pre-fab construction. Prefabricated construction means a lot of the building can be conducted in more of a controlled environment, rather than on a construction site, increasing productivity and minimising risk. Major Australia developers have already implemented these efficiencies in certain parts of their supply chain.
- Permanent Modular Construction
Permanent modular construction is set to become a huge trend in coming years, providing quick and efficient construction methods whilst using many of the same techniques as commercial construction but on a residential scale. With the "boxes" being constructed largely offsite, it allows buildings to be added onto later. The buildings consist of multiple sections, called modules, constructed in an offsite location and then transported to its intended site. Cranes then place the construction onto its foundations.

- Energy Efficiency
Energy consumption is always on the mind during construction, from the buildings initial stages of design through to when the building is set to be purchased. The inclusion of energy efficiency requirements in the National Construction Code (NCC) is part of a comprehensive strategy being undertaken by the Australian, State and Territory Governments to reduce GHG emissions and use energy more efficiently. The NCC energy efficiency requirements apply to all classifications of buildings covered in the NCC.
- Single-Design Model
Traditionally engineering documents were created and then given to the contractor to re-draw with different information. Now there has been a shift to have it all in-house, from engineering to coordination, significantly reducing the engineering, right through to construction.
- Materials
As technology increases and progresses, so do the materials that are constructing our buildings. Adapted sheet metal in particular are popular as a guaranteed pressure class for high quality finishes. How these materials are being combined with other new technologies is the key though. Off-site pre-fab construction allows more efficient use of materials. Instead of joining one piece together at a time, you can join many at once, speeding up the construction process.
Architectural Signs have been providing signage for buildings and new constructions as well as other engraving solutions since 1979 including outdoor, indoor, reception, awards, vehicle signs and braille. See video: www.spec-net.com.au/press/0412/arc_250412.htm.
