Gone are the days of slow, manual processes in modular construction that waste essential time and resources, have a large environmental footprint, or foster customer frustration among customers. Rapidly evolving, advanced technology and growing awareness of modular construction’s potential means that companies can expect more in the new year. This indicates fewer disruptions, easier workflows, greater proactive decision-making, and lower environmental impact.
The modular construction market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8% from 2023 to 2030.
Below, we consider five critical trends to watch in 2025:
The Use of AI for Multiple Service Purposes
From resource optimization to service efficiency to data management to scalability, AI investments in the new year are significant. 74% of companies plan to increase their investment in AI over the next year, aiming to optimize resource allocation and enhance service efficiency. Whether it’s labor or material needs, AI can predict the needs of your modular construction project.
A Significant Focus on Predictive Maintenance
Unplanned downtime is costly for modular construction projects where efficiency is essential. Predictive maintenance, including real-time data monitoring and predictive analytics, allows companies to address issues before they cause disruptions.
Sustainability As a Top Priority
In recent years, companies have been working to reduce their environmental footprint, which should only continue to ramp up in the new year. Sustainable modular construction enables companies to reduce waste throughout the building operations and create opportunities for environmentally friendly homes and business facilities.
Enhanced Customer Experience
57% of respondents to a survey of field service leaders from European organizations detailed in “The State of AI in European Field Service,” a report written by WBR and sponsored by Gomocha, said they use AI for customer service. This number is expected to increase in the new year, whether for improving communication, faster response times, or personalized experiences.
No-Code Workflows
Meet a cemented part of the future of modular construction design: Easy, seamless workflows. Standardized processes, including Gomocha’s no-code solution, prepare your company for anything. Field service operators can remap processes with simple drags and drops, test them virtually, and even roll them out company-wide in a day, if not in a few hours.
Whether it’s AI, predictive maintenance, sustainability, customer experience, or no-code workflows, the future of field service management in modular construction is only growing. Companies and customers can expect to see an increased focus on innovative advancements in those areas during the upcoming year.
