With the launch of the Modern Construction Initiative, Saudi Arabia has put in place pillars to support the transformation of traditional construction to modern construction, with the aim of improving the efficiency of operations, reducing costs, and creating a win-win situation for those who want to be part of the future of the real estate sector.
With the launch of the Modern Construction Initiative The number of factories operating in modern construction has reached 44 factories with a production capacity of more than 25,000 units per year, distributed among ready-mixed concrete, 3D printing, metal structures, and smart insulation technologies.
According to a new report, the number of factories operating in modern construction has reached 44 factories with a production capacity of more than 25,000 units per year. According to a new Modern Construction Initiative report from the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing, more than 58% of housing projects in the residential system now utilize modern construction methods.
According to a new Modern Construction Initiative report from the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing. To support the growth of modern construction technologies, Saudi Arabia has invested in cutting-edge technology such as 3D printing and the use of robotics on construction sites, and has partnered with leading international companies for knowledge and technology transfer and localization.
According to a new report by the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing, 58% housing projects in the housing system now use modern construction methods.
Modern Construction Objectives in Vision 2030:
- Provide sustainable housing: Aims to build housing that is highly energy and resource efficient.
- Minimize construction costs: Aims to provide affordable housing solutions for citizens.
- Improving construction quality: Aiming to build high quality housing with modern designs.
- Improving construction quality:
- Saving construction time: Aiming to reduce construction time through the use of modern construction methods.
Techniques used in modern construction:
- Prefabrication :Parts of a building are manufactured in a factory and then installed at the construction site.
- Using modern building materials: such as industrial wood panels, reinforced plastics, and lightweight aluminum.
- Three-dimensional Printing : This technology is used in the construction of building foundations, such as walls and roofs.
- Building Information Modeling (BIM): A technology used to design buildings in 3D, helping to improve the construction and operation process.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): is used in construction project management, such as tracking progress, and improving worker efficiency.
The role of modern construction in achieving the goals of Vision 2030
:- Meeting housing needs: Modern construction contributes to meeting the growing demand for housing in the Kingdom.
- Localization of industries: Modern construction contributes to the localization of local industries by establishing specialized factories in the production of building materials.
- Job creation: Modern construction contributes to the creation of job opportunities for Saudi youth in various specialties.
- Promote sustainability: Modern construction contributes to sustainability through the use of environmentally friendly materials and technologies that minimize energy consumption.
