How Technology in Construction is Revolutionizing the Industry

The construction industry, often seen as a bastion of tradition, is undergoing a profound transformation driven by technology. From designing to building, managing to monitoring, technology is reshaping every aspect of the construction process. This revolution is not only enhancing efficiency and safety but also unlocking new creative possibilities. In this article, we delve into the ways technology is revolutionizing the construction industry.

1. Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of a building's physical and functional characteristics. It's more than just 3D modeling; it's an intelligent information-rich process that allows architects, engineers, and construction professionals to collaborate seamlessly. BIM enables the visualization of a project before it's built, leading to improved design quality, clash detection, and better decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.

2. Prefabrication and Modular Construction

Technology is enabling the widespread adoption of prefabrication and modular construction, where building components are manufactured off-site and assembled on-site. This approach reduces construction time, waste, and cost while maintaining high quality. It's particularly effective for repetitive elements like walls and floors, speeding up projects and minimizing disruption to surrounding areas.

3. Drones and Aerial Imaging

Drones equipped with high-resolution cameras are changing the way construction sites are surveyed and monitored. They provide a bird's-eye view of the site, helping project managers track progress, monitor safety compliance, and identify potential issues. Aerial imaging also aids in site analysis, site selection, and accurate topographic mapping.

4. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies are enhancing project visualization and communication. AR overlays digital information onto the real world, helping workers visualize designs on-site. VR immerses users in a digital environment, allowing stakeholders to virtually walkthrough and experience a project before construction begins. These technologies streamline design approvals, reduce errors, and improve collaboration.

5. Robotics and Automation

Robots are increasingly being used in construction tasks that are repetitive, hazardous, or require extreme precision. Robotic bricklayers can lay bricks at an astonishing pace, while autonomous heavy equipment can handle earthmoving and grading. Automation not only improves efficiency but also reduces the risk of accidents and injuries.

6. 3D Printing

3D printing is making its mark in construction, enabling the creation of complex structures with less waste and faster construction times. Large-scale 3D printers can produce entire walls, bridges, and even houses. This technology holds the potential to revolutionize affordable housing and emergency shelter construction.

7. Internet of Things (IoT)

The Internet of Things (IoT) is connecting construction sites like never before. Sensors embedded in equipment, materials, and even worker wearables collect real-time data on everything from equipment health to worker safety. This data-driven approach enhances decision-making, optimizes resource allocation, and improves overall project management.

8. Sustainable Construction Practices

Technology is driving the adoption of sustainable construction practices. Energy-efficient designs, smart HVAC systems, and renewable energy integration are becoming standard. The analysis of data collected from smart buildings helps optimize energy consumption and reduce environmental impact.

Conclusion

Technology is not only transforming the construction industry; it's redefining what's possible. The integration of digital tools, automation, and data-driven insights is optimizing every stage of the construction process, from concept to completion. As technology continues to advance, the construction industry stands on the brink of a new era marked by efficiency, safety, sustainability, and innovation. Embracing these technological advancements is not just an option; it's a necessity for those looking to thrive in the rapidly evolving world of construction.

WARDI TERMS OF ENDEARMENT

emense [ɛmɛnse] (eh-mehn-say)

Has meaning close to 'beloved' or 'darling'. "Ya emense" (meaning 'my beloved'/'my darling') is often contracted "y'mense".

bubuch [bubuk] (boo-bookh)

Somewhat of a nonsense word, basically ‘big-big’. Tends to either be used for small children or flirtatiously between adults (kind in between 'baby' and 'big boy' in functionality, though without gendered implications of the latter). Sometimes instead used as a form of intense condescension.

ya mache mes [ja mɑke mes] (yah mah-kay mace)

Functionally means "my other face", using the figurative word for face describing a concept of fundamental nature rather than anatomy. Very intense term of endearment, expresses the recipient as a core part of one's identity. Kind of equivalent to 'my other half' but not exclusively romantic.

ya tsitsima [ja ͡tsi͡tsimə] (yah tsee-tsee-muh)

Means "my blood". This term is used more broadly to denote familial relations, and is more of a term of endearment when used outside of actual biological relationship (calling your sister 'my blood' is just an intense way of saying 'my [relative]', calling a non-relative 'my blood' is VERY pointedly affectionate).

ya ungande [ja ungɑnde] (yah oon-gahn-day)

Often contracted to y'ungande, dead literally means "my liver" as in the organ. Ungande alone is also used as a food-based term of endearment, similar to 'honey' except instead with delicious organ meat.

anuje [ɑnudʒe] (ah-noo-jay)

Food based term of endearment, referring to a tree sap that is the most commonly used form of sweetener. Functionally identical to 'honey' in usage.

anu tlansekoma [ɑnu tlɑnsekoʊmə] (ah-noo tlahn-say-koh-muh)

This one actually means 'honey' (dead literally 'bee sweet'). Less common than 'anuje' as a term of endearment due to general cultural preference for anuje as a sweetener and the relative rarity of beekeeping.

inyagit [injəgit] (een-yah-geet)

Diminutive form of 'sun'. 'Ya inya' (my sun) occurs as well, but is less common.

y'mit agai [j'mit ɑgaɪ] (yuh-meet ah-gai)

Contraction of 'ya amit agai', 'my blue moon'. This specification is more common than a general 'my moon(s)' and is fairly loaded, given this particular moon is the site of the afterlife for the most honored dead. The phrase both suggests a sort of celestial beauty and a sense of being honored and finding rest in the recipient. This is a VERY intense and almost exclusively romantic term of endearment.

coutomara [koʊtoʊmɑrə] (koh-to-mahr-uh)

Means 'handsome' or 'beautiful', implies masculine attractiveness. (Dead literally closer to 'strong face'/'strong featured').

jaimara [dʒaɪmɑrə] (jaim-mahr-uh)

Means 'pretty' or 'beautiful', implies feminine attractiveness (dead literally close to 'beautiful face'/'beautifully featured').

katsuy [kɑtsui] [kaht-soo'ee]

Sexually charged description of physical attractiveness, basically calling someone 'sexy'.

ya katsuymen [ja kɑtsuimɛn] (yah koht-soo'ee-mehn)

Related and also sexually charged, close in meaning to 'my desire'.

at akmatse yachouy [ɑt ɑkmɑtse jɑtʃɔɪ] (aht ahk-mat-say yah-choi )

Sexually explicit term of endearment. The dead literal translation is "one who makes me flower". The word "flower" here is not as euphemistic in context and is rather the nicest sounding possible way to say "makes me cum (HARD)". Not considered vulgar, rather cloyingly romantic if anything.

gan(ne) ama [gɑn(e) ɑmə] (gah(-nay) ahm-uh)

Means 'bull'. When used affectionately, implies masculine strength. Usually used in conjunction with an adjective (ie 'handsome bull') or more teasingly gannit ama (little/baby bull))

jaimeti [dʒaɪmɛti] (jai-meh-tee)

Means 'gazelle' (the name for the animal itself is close in meaning to 'beautiful horn'), heavily associated with grace and beauty. Also tends to be used with adjectives ('lovely gazelle' 'handsome gazelle' etc) or with a diminutive.

ansiba [ɑnsibɑ] (ahn-see-bah) or ansibit [ɑnsibit] (ahn-see-beet)

Means 'duck' and 'duckling' respectively, specifically refers to the animal and implies cuteness. Ansibit is a very common term of endearment for children.

"Wannaukoma such datse anmo" [wɑnaʊkoʊmə suk dɑtse ɑnmoʊ] (wahn-now-koh-muh sookh daht-say ahn-moh)

Means 'an ant could swallow you', implies cuteness (ie the recipient is so small and tiny an Ant could devour them whole). Usually used on children, occasionally used on adult women (in a way that feels intensely patronizing to many). 'Datse' (you) may be replaced by the recipients surname or honorific in the rare case that someone would dare calling someone this without being on first name basis with them.

wannaukomit [wɑnaʊkoʊmit] (wahn-now-koh-meet)

Means 'little ant', a term of endearment that borders on insulting even to babies.

OTHER:

-it [it] (eet)

This is a diminutive modifier, which can be added to a name or other word/term of endearment to denote affection (can also be condescending). It lacks internal meaning in everyday use and is closer to the English -y or -ie (billy johnny rosie susie puppy kitty ducky etc).

hippe [hipɛ] (heep-peh) (some dialects drop the h sound entirely)

Means 'small' or 'little', can be spoken with other words/names as an affectionate diminutive.

Other epithets-

Various epithets used in the language are not exclusively used as terms of endearment, but can be contextually. Most commonly, this will be the -machen epithet of the recipients zodiac birthsign (particularly those considered auspicious). Someone with the lion birthsign could be respectfully and/or affectionately called 'odomachen', or VERY affectionately called 'ya odo' ('my lion'). There's also a good variety of poetic epithets that have worked their way into common language as affectionate compliments/descriptors- ie ganatoche (dead literally 'cow-eye', more prettily 'ox-eyed') is a complimentary descriptor for brown eyes, anaemaitsa (dead literally 'river-haired', more prettily 'flowing-haired') compliments wavy hair.

Given name basis-

In Wardi culture, full names are spoken with the family name preceding the given name. When respectfully speaking to a stranger, peer, or authority figure, you refer to them by their family name, title, and/or an honorific. Being on an accepted given name basis with someone is generally indicative of closeness and affection.

datse [dɑtse] (dah-tsay)

This is the word for "you". Similarly to the use of a given name, actually referring to someone as 'you' (rather than a surname, title, or honorific in place of the pronoun) expresses familiarity and intimacy.

[nonas-third-tantrum]

during the gtn dinner party gideon notes that teacher is “perennially pleased to see [harrow and gideon] for no reason gideon ever knew” and I’m wondering if this is just teacher being quirky or if teacher had a particular fondness for anastasia and is delighted because harrow reminds him of her and/or because harrow’s presence confirms that anastasia’s line and house have continued

[voidmetal-alloy]

I’ve decided that Bass is by far the funniest MM character to have a transmasc headcanon about because he’s so aggressive about his own self image that if Wily tried to activate him and he didn’t like a single aspect of himself he’d for sure just go “Oh absolutely fucking not. Try again.”

Starkid D&D AU Fic

(i haven’t proof read this yet so idk if it’s good or bad yet 😭 also sorry if i get some stuff wrong, i re-watched the stream to fact check some stuff. this is all i have so far, so on that note, let’s get into it)

Sat atop a rustic cottage, a lone figure rested. One who was formerly a dragon-born, and now an average-sized cookie dragon.

Her light brown tail with darker brown spots coiled around her frame, gently tapping against the hay roof. Muddy eyes surveyed the horizon of Stalewind, as if in search of something. Someone, even.

A few inches away, she heard the rustling of the hay adjacent to her. Turning her head, she spotted a single hand. Another hand joined it, and before she knew it, Zak was hauling himself onto the top of their cottage. Hat, dirt-caked suspenders, messy dark hair, and all. He offered her a smile.

“Zephyr n’ Angelo are inside cookin’ up-uh, somethin’ nice for all of us.” Zak’s strained attempt at making a conversation would’ve made her laugh if she wasn’t so focused on what she was doing.

She offered a half-nod. “Cool.”

Zak looked at her for a few moments before he fished a hand into one of his pockets. As he brought out his hand, a small potato came out with it. Spudicus Maximus wiggled a bit in his palm. The silence was loud enough to hear the mewls of it saying, “Dada,” over-and-over. Zak smiled.

“It’s nice. Us four livin’ together, eh? No more famine ‘ere thanks ta’ us. Everythin’s peaceful n’ stuff. Well, if you can count Angelo’s daily Bible readings as that, but, ya know. I like this place, n’ this run-down cottage.” Zak looked up from his son to the swamp of trees before them.

“It reminds me of my old place, back in Brooklyn. Delancey Street, n’ all of that. My family’s back there, ya know. My moms and my younga’ brothas. I miss ‘em everyday, but with the Earthworm…I don’t wanna put ‘em in danger.”

Zak looked at her, a sad smile on his face. “You miss Tony, Stephonia. You’ve had that look in ya eyes ever since the Hag killed ‘im.”

i had a dream about this and a different npmd au last night so i woke up at 7 and busted out my computer 😋 also i feel like zak having two moms and being an older brother is canon but ‼️‼️ that’s just my interpretation lol

Spies are forever Malevolent au (made with @z3n1g4t4)

Curt Mega is a free-lance private eye investigator in the early 50s. He works with his partner, Owen Carvour, and both of them are one of the best of Arkham.

One day, Curt wakes up with no vision and no memory of what has happened. He soon discovers that there's something, or someone, in his head. The entity doesn't recall their own name, but they seem to be in control of Curt's eyes.

Although wary at first, Curt accepts to work with the entity. They quickly find each other working great together: the entity is throughout in their descriptions, and Curt is good thinking on his feet. They quickly get out of the building they were in (one from Curt's cases) and try to recap what has happened.

Curt remembers working on a case about occultism and superstition, but he didn't take it very seriously. His partner and him had to find some missing girl, and that had taken them to a house. The last thing Curt remembers was finding some books with strange symbols on them and letters he couldn't read. The entity, or the man, as he insisted he was, had some vague memories about himself, but couldn't remember much about his identity.

Given that they couldn't go their separate ways, the couple decide to work together to discover what's going on. Their goals are to separate their bodies (and get rid of Curt's eyes curse) as well as finding Owen. The entity finds him fascinating, as it is one of the few moments were Curt lets his guard down and is in touch with himself. He tells him about the cases they worked together, their achievements as partners. As more time passes, the entity notices how there are some gaps in his stories about Owen, as if there were things he didn't want to say. Curt also seems to be more on edge when the topic comes up.

The entity and Curt have some fights during the investigation. The entity is frustrated with Curt, as he often ignores him to follow his impulses (that usually get them in more trouble). On his hand, Curt resents the entity, as he blames him on his partner's dissapearence. Their egos clash, sometimes ending delaying the case by a lot or even putting their lives in danger just to fuck with the other one over. The dance seems familiar to the entity, but he doesn't know why.

After some setbacks and different leads, Curt and the entity arrive to an occult society that seems to worship the same creature that the books belong to. There, they finally give it a name: Chimera. This Old One is created by pieces of many creatures, taking their abilities and making new amalgamates with them (the greek mythology beast is loosely based on it). It thanks Curt for taking Owen to him. Curt doesn't understand.

Chimera reveals that in their last investigation together, Owen and Curt got in trouble. Although they thought they were alone at the house, they were not, and Owen got shot .As a last resource, Owen reached for the book and summoned Chimera, trying to stay alive. The god then offers him a choice: he would keep living, in a way, but he'd have to give up the memories of Curt and their work together. Clinging to his life, Owen accepts.

Curt can't believe what he hears, he can't accept that the man he loves gave him up to become some sort of monster. He faces Chimera and asks them if that's why he can't remember anything about Owen. It laughs at him. Chimera tells him that it wasn't them that made him forget, but Curt. It makes Curt remember nevertheless, and he relives their last moments together. He remembers how he had carelessly made noise all around the house, and he had left a banana peel laying around in the entry. That banana peel hadn't allowed Owen to flee.

Curt's head is filled with images, and memories, and he's hurting, but he can't still remember about his time with Owen, who he was. It doesn't make sense to him. Chimera tells him that it wasn't their fault, he just simply didn't know Owen. He thought he did, with all their cases, but he never asked him about his life. About who he really was. He didn't have to worry much about it, now Owen didn't remember either.

Chimera thus wants to take Owen back to make him one of his subjects, but Owen declines. His new form has made him think about who he is or what his purpose is, and he's not ready to give it up. And although conflicted, Curt doesn't want Owen to join Chimera. So they run away from Chimera.

Their next big step is to face each other.

Neko Buster - CR 11 Humanoid

An android with a big gun from the hit game Nekopunk 20W0.

Artwork by TuwaLG on DeviantArt.

Logically, this should probably be statted out as a Starfinder enemy instead, but instead of doing that, I, uh, didn't. I made this and then I teleported my players into a cyberspace plane that was inspired by Tron, and where every single creature and many objects had glowing cybernetic cat ears and a tail. Because that's a reasonable thing to do in a Pathfinder campaign. And I called it Nekopunk 20W0.

This is an android, but rather than using class levels, it's statted out as a unique creature. Some of the abilities were inspired by Mega Man, and more specifically by this Starfinder adaptation of Mega Man by Luis Loza at Monstrous Physique. You're free to remove the catgirl aspect and just make this a more normal-looking android, but I'll be disappointed.

Neko Buster - CR 11

The artifical humanoid is wearing a glossy skin-tight body suit that glows with circuit-like patterns. One of its arms is a large cannon.

XP 12,800 N Medium humanoid (android) (see Constructed) Init +5 Senses Darkvision 60 ft.; Perception +10

DEFENSE

AC 25, touch 17, flat-footed 20 (+8 armor, +2 deflection, +5 Dex) hp 142 (15d8+75) Fort +13, Ref +15, Will +9; +4 vs. mind-affecting, paralysis, poison, stun Defensive Abilities constructed Resist acid 10, cold 10, electricity 10, fire 10, force 10, sonic 10 Immune disease, emotion, exhaustion, fatigue, fear, morale bonuses, sleep

STATISTICS

Str 16, Dex 20, Con 20, Int 14, Wis 12, Cha 8 Base Atk +11; CMB +14; CMD 31 Feats Deadly Aim, Great Fortitude, Improved Vital Strike, Iron Will, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Vital Strike, Weapon Focus (buster cannon) Skills +20 Acrobatics, +11 Climb, +18 Perception, +9 Knowledge (dungeoneering, engineering, local), -3 Sense Motive, +8 Stealth; Racial Bonuses +2 Perception, -4 Sense Motive Languages Auran, Common, Ignan SQ nanite surge Gear buster armor, buster cannon

EQUIPMENT ABILITIES

Buster Armor A neko buster's technological armor is treated as light armor which grants it +8 AC and has no maximum Dexterity bonus and no armor check penalty. Additionally, it grants the neko buster a +2 deflection bonus to AC, a +1 resistance bonus to saving throws, and grants 10 points of acid, cold, electricity, fire, force, and sonic resistance. The armor has hardness 2 and 10 HP. It only functions for the neko buster, and cannot be removed from the neko buster without destroying it.

Buster Cannon A neko buster has an energy cannon mounted on its arm which is capable of making ranged attacks, and is treated as a manufactured weapon with a +3 enhancement bonus. Attacks with a buster cannon have an 80 ft. range increment, crit on a 19-20, and deal 4d6 force damage. A target hit by a critical hit with a buster cannon is automatically dazed for 1 round with no save. A buster cannon has unlimited ammunition.

A neko buster's buster cannon only functions for the neko buster and cannot be removed from its arm without destroying the cannon. It has 16 hardness and 40 hit points. The arm that the buster cannon is mounted on has the hand surgically attached to the cannon, causing the hand to be unable to be used for anything else except firing the cannon.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Charged Shot (Ex) When performing an improved vital strike, a neko buster can spend a move action charging up the attack and aiming carefully in order to gain a +2 bonus to its attack and damage rolls.

Constructed (Ex) For the purposes of effects targeting creatures by type (such as a ranger’s favored enemy and bane weapons), neko busters are treated as androids, and thus count both as humanoids and as constructs.

Crash Bomber (Ex) As a standard action, a neko buster can fire a small bomb as a ranged touch attack (typically with a +15 bonus) at a target within 30 feet. If the attack hits, the bomb attaches itself to the target; otherwise, it attaches itself to the ground below the target's feet. The bomb detonates at the start of the neko buster's next turn, dealing 12d6 points of fire damage to the target the bomb was attached to and all adjacent creatures and objects. Adjacent creatures can halve this damage with a successful DC 22 Reflex save. The neko buster that fired the bomb gains a +8 circumstance bonus on this saving throw. The save DC is Dexterity-based.

A creature that has a bomb attached to it or is within reach of a bomb can remove the bomb and attach it to a creature or object within its reach as a standard action. Removing or attaching a bomb to an unwilling creature requires a touch attack. If the touch attack to attach a bomb fails, the creature holding the bomb can choose to drop it instead.

Energy Image (Ex) Twice per day as a move action, a neko buster can cause 3 holographic images of itself to appear, copying its movements and functioning as the mirror image spell.

As a standard action, a neko buster can cause any number of these energy images to transform into electrical energy and fly towards an enemy within 60 ft., making ranged touch attacks against that target (typically with a +15 bonus). These energy images may be fired at the same or different targets, but all energy images must be aimed at targets within 30 feet of each other and fired simultaneously. A successful attack with an energy image deals 6d6 electricity damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 22 Fortitude save or be dazed for 1 round. The save DC is Dexterity-based.

Nanite Surge (Ex) A neko buster's body is infused with nanites. Once per day as an immediate action, a neko buster can cause its nanites to surge, granting it a +14 bonus on any one d20 roll; this ability must be activated before the roll is made. When a neko buster uses this power, its circuitry-tattoos glow with light equivalent to that of a torch for 1 round.

Let's build Mega Man X's regular armor (Time Lapse)

These videos were originally shot in May 2023. Yet another model kit video I procrastinated on finishing. :/ This time I'm constructing another Kotobukiya model kit, this time of X in his regular armor. This is a much simpler model kit to put together compared to the Force armor or Zero. There are some technical hiccups (switching between filming with my phone and filming with my Sony camera) but I did the best I can to make the video watchable. I've got several more model kit building videos coming up!

Check me out on Bluesky! https://bsky.app/profile/guineapigdan.bsky.social And thanks to WaxBadger for cleaning my audio once again! Here he is on Bluesky too! https://bsky.app/profile/waxbadger.bsky.social
