ConstructConnect’s support of the construction industry is largely a service to the boots on the ground, managers, and contractors putting plans into action. Women have a huge part in leading a new generation of construction game changers. While the narrative around who represents the future of construction has seen little to no change for years, there is now a steady uptick of women entering and advancing in the industry.

If human beings are nothing else, we are adaptable creatures. The unfamiliar can be overwhelming and new processes almost always ignite some pushback. I’m sure in the beginning, the thought of using a 3D printer to produce sustainable construction materials had a crowd of folks scratching their heads. But while this technology can still feel out-of-pocket to some, it’s looking more and more like the industry’s future with a list of successful projects and long-term business advantages to tout.

We’ve all heard the saying, “It’s not always about what you know but who you know.” As a trade contractor, in an unpredictable economy, it may make more sense to say,” It’s always about what you know and who you know.”

Companies that meet the criteria of a disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) are highly sought after on government bidding sites. When trying to stay competitive and profitable as a DBE, it is advantageous to go after these types of contracts; if not, you could leave money on the table. Especially when working in larger markets, where inclusion is a priority, your chances of being selected increase significantly if you qualify as a DBE.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the silent partner in preconstruction you probably never thought you needed. Now that AI has landed, it’s time to think of ways to introduce this technology to your process.

Bidding time is the season that never ends, and we’d like to help you get more R&R in your schedule. That’s research and results, in case you were wondering. Researching before bidding will lead you toward long-term results of meeting project and profit goals.

Though Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making huge strides in preconstruction, it’s also appearing in other construction areas, such as performance and safety improvements.

A new age of construction is here, involving things that sound straight out of a sci-fi movie. With construction workers used to ‘doing it all,’ using robots or AI during the preconstruction planning process or on-site may feel unnatural.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the construction industry. As we enter a new era of construction technology, it’s important to understand what Artificial Intelligence (AI) is and how it offers unique solutions to enhance the productivity and performance of construction professionals. Let’s examine how artificial intelligence is redefining the construction industry.

If you’re feeling the pinch from the competitive and crowded construction field, we can all agree that a bit of preparation and thoughtful strategy will go a long way. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 36% of construction businesses last ten years or more.
