The Real Estate Sector is one of the most significant contributor of GDP growth in Bangladesh. According to the report from UNDP, there is a prediction that, 40% of the people in our country will be urbanized by 2020. This indicates that there will be a rise in demand in all sorts of infrastructures from apartments to office and other commercial buildings, to mega malls, hospitals and what not! Moreover, there will also be necessity to construct more roads, highways, metro railways, flyovers and so on. All these ultimately implies that there will be higher demand in the Real Estate and Construction Sector. Engineering and Construction needs to be well planned, efficient, safe, cost effective and completed in the shortest possible time. In order to achieve that, construction equipment play a major role. Previously we have gone through some of the commonly used Heavy Construction Equipment in Bangladesh, now let us discuss the advantages of utilizing these equipment and machineries.
Health and Safety
Health and safety are always the top priorities at any construction site. Regardless of the size of a project, the use of Construction Equipment ensures a safer working environment when operated according to proper safety guidelines.
Excavation, demolition, and piling are all tasks that become extremely risky if done manually. Using advanced Construction Equipment significantly reduces health hazards and prevents accidents. These machines can operate safely even during unfavorable weather conditions like heavy rain. For example, manual soil cutting and excavation often cause slips, falls, and severe injuries. By using excavators, such risks are minimized. Working inside an enclosed operating cabin also protects workers from dust-related health issues commonly found on construction sites.
However, operators and site personnel must always be trained and aware of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and safety measures related to every piece of Construction Equipment being used.
Time-Saving and Efficiency
After safety, timely project completion is the most important goal in the construction sector. Construction Equipment plays a vital role in increasing efficiency and accelerating workflow without compromising quality. This helps optimize long-term project costs.
For example, using excavators eliminates many of the limitations of manual labor such as inconsistency due to weather, absenteeism, physical exhaustion, or socio-economic challenges. With modern machinery, construction activities can continue smoothly and efficiently.
Handling Complex Projects
Bangladesh is rapidly developing, with massive ongoing and upcoming infrastructure projects such as the Dhaka Metro Rail, Padma Bridge, Deep Sea Ports, and the Karnaphuli Tunnel. These complex mega projects are impossible to execute without the support of advanced Construction Equipment.
In addition, numerous private construction projects across Dhaka now feature sophisticated engineering and architectural designs. Such projects demand precision, speed, and power—making traditional manual processes impractical. Heavy machinery ensures that these projects are completed efficiently and correctly.
Improved Quality
As project complexity increases, the demand for high-quality output also rises. Using Construction Equipment reduces human errors and ensures superior quality in every stage of construction.
For instance, concrete mixers deliver a perfectly homogeneous cement mix—something extremely difficult to achieve manually. Each batch remains consistent, which improves the structural quality and reliability of the entire project.
Enhancing Brand Value
Finally, the use of Construction Equipment boosts the overall brand value of any construction, engineering, or real estate company. In Bangladesh, leading companies—including Suvastu Properties Ltd.—maintain their own fleet of modern machinery to ensure efficiency, quality, and timely delivery.
