• Constructech Top Products: Building Innovation in Construction

  The construction jobsite, and the technology that proliferates it, looks very different than it did two decades ago, but one thing has remained constant: the Constructech Top Products are a barometer of how innovation continues to evolve. I have had the privilege of helping guide this program for nearly two decades, and the journey tells [...]

• Inefficiencies Lead to Construction Innovation

  Research suggests contractors lose nearly 6% of profit margins due to inefficiencies caused by poor reporting between the office and the jobsite. However, that doesn’t necessarily tell the entire story. In recent years, nearly two-thirds of contractors have improved their field data capabilities and more than 80% rely on cloud-based solutions to manage processes. It [...]

• AI and ERP in the Age of Complexity

  If there’s one thing I’ve learned in more than two decades in covering the technology and industrial space, it’s that complexity is the new constant. Disruption used to be episodic—COVID, tariffs, material shortages—but now the baseline expectation is that everything is becoming faster and more interconnected at a rapid clip. In construction and manufacturing, that [...]

• Fact of the Week – 10/13/2025

  #Factoftheweek By 2030, global transmission infrastructure investment is projected to rise to $573.7 billion, up from $372.6 billion in 2025, which is a growth rate of roughly 9.2%. What’s driving this growth? The reality is the grid is no longer just wires and poles. It is a digital, intelligent network. It makes you think about [...]

• Success Stories: MoBluRF Transforms

  The development and deployment of MoBluRF can lead to new roles in AI (artificial intelligence) research, software engineering, and content creation. MoBluRF is a new framework designed to reconstruct 4D scenes from blurry monocular videos, and it addresses a challenge in NeRF (neural radiance fields) technology, which often struggles with motion blur in handheld footage. [...]
