5 Emerging Smart City Construction Companies

Mohocon provides Off-Site Construction (OSC)

The construction industry in smart cities lacks skilled labor, proper working schedules, and building quality, reducing overall efficiency. Off-site construction (OSC) addresses these issues by manufacturing construction components and structures at locations away from the site. Such methods include prefabrication and preassembling as well as modular and volumetric buildings. They ensure faster installation, pre-assured quality, less dependency on weather conditions, and reduced need for skilled on-site workers.

Mohocon is a Danish startup that creates sustainable modular houses using its Hexy technology. Inspired by the structure of honeycombs, the startup leverages the advantages of hexagon-like dynamically constructed buildings, paired with OSC innovations. Moreover, it uses recycled materials, enables quick manual assembly, and provides a self-supporting structure. This allows city builders to speed up project completion and save labor costs.

Built Robotics develops Autonomous Systems for Digital Construction

Diverting more workers from heavy-duty and dangerous tasks at building sites is possible with driverless construction vehicles. These machines are also capable of autonomous or semi-autonomous operations using robotics, machine learning, LIDAR, and global positioning system (GPS). They automate repetitive and heavyweight operations with minimal or no human intervention.

Built Robotics is a US-based startup that offers autonomous systems for dozers, excavators, and skid steers. Equipped with off-the-shelf sensors, cameras, GPS mapping, and geofences, these vehicles automate routine tasks that require a lot of human participants and offload workers. This allows on-site construction workers to concentrate on progress supervision while improving their safety and productivity.

Sky Tronic enables Drone-based Site Inspections

Construction managers often spend a lot of time and resources on regular building site inspections for progress tracking, quality control, and employee safety compliance. In smart cities, drones solve these issues with built-in mapping, scanning, and precision measurement features. They, in turn, provide real-time accurate imagery and speed up data transmittance while saving costs.

Polish startup Sky Tronic streamlines drone inspections at construction sites in smart cities. The startup’s solution improves the stability and maneuverability of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in various weather and land conditions. It utilizes fuzzy logic and AI to manufacture tailored steering controllers that enhance the navigation capacity of drones and offers high-quality construction imaging.

StreamBIM simplifies Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Smart city construction entails numerous details, such as task scheduling, cost estimations, and site monitoring, that need to be considered throughout the project lifecycle. Building information modeling effectively organizes all these parameters in one place, simplifying digital construction management.

Norwegian startup Rendra AS develops StreamBIM, a 3D BIM collaboration platform for smart city construction. It combines data workflows from disconnected systems, including BIM data, to improve worker-designer collaboration. This allows smart city construction companies to mitigate data silos, gain visibility into overall operations, and, thus, enhance productivity.

Globiz facilitates Structural Health Monitoring

Structural health monitoring (SHM) utilizes condition monitoring, damage detection, and preventive maintenance to simplify routine inspection and maintenance tasks. This also extends the lifetime of new buildings and the comfort of citizens. Besides, such systems allow building managers to mitigate damages and improve building management.

Globiz is a South Korean startup that specializes in real-time integrated monitoring of the health status of buildings and infrastructure objects during and after construction. The startup’s solution combines measurement sensors, diagnostics tools, and a web-based control system to deliver on-the-go status updates. It also predicts the effects of abnormal structural load in buildings, allowing building owners and managers to mitigate catastrophic incidents.
