While Dane’s 2018 National Population and Housing Census totaled 61% of the total number of residences at the time of measurement, showing that housing remains the most preferred settlement in the country, one thing is certain: In Colombian apartments, a trend already exceeding 32%, and it has been particularly well received in cities such as Bogota, Medellin and Cali, to name a few cases.
Adding to this fact is the well-known “historical” way of marketing the new homes that the country has registered since the pandemic began, and this is according to the Housing Department’s calculations, with information from the Real Estate Gallery, Nearly 227,600 new homes sold in 2021; and 177,000 in 2020; which is equivalent to two consecutive record years.
With this framework in mind, it is worth saying that it creates a very positive panorama for the country’s revival and economic dynamics – because around 1.2 million jobs are created around the construction sector and 36 productive sub-sectors are affected. A new challenge is also beginning to take shape in terms of the coexistence and environmental impact of hundreds of thousands of families who start living in communal or horizontal properties every year at Fiabci-.
For this reason, precisely Hipal, a platform designed to facilitate the digital management of horizontal property, has developed a study specifically to identify how digitization can happen.Reduce the consumption of stationery from recurring use and lower the costs of a traditionally managed co-ownership.
In this sense, 16 of the 50 stationery items with the highest turnover in an administration were analyzed and a simulation was carried out over a one-year period to observe what kind of change can be created in consumption and savings among a house. A complex consisting of 100 apartments that apply and do not apply technology in administrative processes.
The results were not only convincing, but also realized in the short term: digital management of common properties will reduce stationery consumption by up to 45 percent in the first yearand this savings may be sustainable over time as the allocation of electronic tools is strengthened.
This reduction will ultimately translate into economic efficiency; Considering that the costs of the examined materials have increased by approximately 26% since last year, it turns into very convenient savings as it is a cost that disappears.
To better justify what has been said with this and an example, technological innovation will make it possible to move from the waste of a communication printed in ink on a ball of paper, taped to the door of the gymnasium of the complex. reporting that teams are out of order, to say the least; up to a practical notification that can be sent to all residents the night before, collectively and without waste, via mobile phone.
It’s just an example of how adequate digitization allows us to predict social situations Without adequate planning, it could have a large-scale environmental and economic impact. Therefore, in a time of high volatility like today, it is necessary to produce solutions with technology; It is necessary to live wisely.
