It used to be said that robotics would never work in construction because the process isn't repeatable/predictable enough. What should have been said is that robotics wouldn't work yet. Construction isn't like manufacturing, which has been successfully using robotics for the past several decades (to great effect, we might add—just look at manufacturing's huge productivity gains over the same time period). It's subject to countless variables, some of which contractors and workers may have little to no control over (like the weather or site conditions). But while robotic technology may not have made sense for construction 40 years ago, or really even 10 years ago, it makes sense today (or at least makes a lot more sense). Today there are robots that can lay bricks, install product, move earth, demolish structures, provide project updates, and much more. There are robots that walk, fly, and move on wheels. There is an entire industry rapidly expanding to meet the growing needs and demands for robots in construction. It's a good thing for the industry to have more opportunity and options for improving jobsite productivity. But it's an admittedly tough thing for contractors to have to navigate and furthermore understand the growing complexities of those opportunities and options. During our 'Automating Construction and Maximizing Efficiency with Robotic Solutions' panel as part of our upcoming Construction Tech Conference in Chicago, BuiltWorlds Research Analyst Audrey Lynch will lead robotic and construction experts from BotBuilt, PERI, Illinois Institute of Technology, and Formant in a discussion about the evolution of robotic solutions in construction as well as what and where the opportunities are for using robots to increase efficiency, productivity, safety and more on the jobsite.

ESG and sustainability are quickly becoming defining characteristics of construction, as regulations and client expectations continue their transition into industry standards. At our upcoming Construction Tech Conference in Chicago, being held at the iconic Willis Tower, both topics will be front in center, with Tyler Sewall, senior director of research for BuiltWorlds, leading experts from Graycor, Logistics Property Company, LLC, Krueck Sexton Partners, JLL, and Qualis Flow (Qflow) in a discussion about the best methods and technologies for tracking and optimizing ESG and sustainability processes on jobsites and across construction projects. Attendees will gain actionable insights into driving sustainability initiatives that not only meet regulatory standards but also enhance the overall value and reputation of their firms. In an increasingly competitive and sophisticated AEC industry, companies can't afford to fall behind the innovations pushing everyone else forward. Register for the 2024 Construction Conference today and begin equipping yourself with the network and know-how to compete in the modern age: https://lnkd.in/gWjajxKV

Reality capture is an all encompassing term that covers a wide spectrum of imaging technologies, including both software and hardware, which can make identifying the truly worthwhile solutions more than a little difficult. What compounds the problem is that knowing what those solutions are is only half the battle. The other half is understanding them—understanding LiDAR, IoT, photogrammetry, and so on. Part of BuiltWorlds' mission is to enable AEC stakeholders to achieve better outcomes and build a better, smarter built world through informed decision making, particularly as it relates to technology—what is likely to be the biggest differentiator between businesses in an increasingly sophisticated market. Our Top Lists are a direct result of that belief, created to help construction business build and adjust their tech stacks to include technologies that other contractors have employed and since found success. And our latest covers Reality Capture technologies. From 360-degree photogrammetry solutions for buildings and infrastructure to IoT sensors, wearables, LiDAR scanners and more, our Reality Capture Top 50 provides contractors with a curated of layout of recommended technologies, pre-vetted through user surveys, research, member conversations and feedback, and case studies. See the full list below and click the link for more details on each of the technologies and the capabilities they provide: https://lnkd.in/dVKEtF7Z Reconstruct Inc, OpenSpace, FARO Building Insights, Avvir, Cupix, Avatour, Pix4D, Hammer Missions, Timescapes, Doxel, Sitelink, Multivista, Trimble Inc.

Our Top Lists aren't pay-to-play nor are they based on any assumptions of quality or functionality. Our Top Lists reflect technology that is currently being used in the field and with which actual contractors are finding success. If a technology, like cmBuilder.io, makes the list, it's because they deserve the recognition. So congratulations again to cmBuilder.io and all the technologies that made this year's Smart Jobsites Top 50. https://lnkd.in/gAYUQwmU
Thanks to BuiltWorlds for the shout out! They have named cmBuilder.io as part of the 2024 Smart Jobsite top 50, link to the article below 👇 Some great products and technologies on that list...the future is bright for #contech ! #3d #4d #webbased #simulation #sitelogistics CadMakers https://lnkd.in/gKB5GcQk

Where else can you get deep dive discussions into the new innovations shaping/transforming the built world from both the actual people creating and implementing the technology? We take pride in our events because we put so much work into meticulously organizing and curating the content and presenters so that every session leaves attendees with a better understanding of the topic as well as actionable insights into how to best leverage that information into actual workplace and/or jobsite improvements. While our Paris Summit has come and gone, we still invite any and all interested in how to improve our built world to register for any of our other upcoming conferences and events. Construction Tech Conference , July 23-25: https://lnkd.in/gWjajxKV Toronto Summit, Sept 10-12: https://lnkd.in/eCuX2Gzf Infrastructure Conference, Oct 1-2: https://lnkd.in/eD5afRcn Tokyo Summit, October 15-17: https://lnkd.in/em-Ubjfk Venture East, Nov 6-7: https://lnkd.in/e7uxP55E Offsite Construction Conference: https://lnkd.in/eNWvZuRm

In our 2023 Project Software Benchmarking Report, we identify(via surveys of actual AEC industry users) the top rated and most implemented tech solutions in a range of different categories and functionalities. Take, for instance, enterprise-resource planning technologies. Our research breaks down not just which technology user prefer overall (it was Sage, by the way), but which technologies users prefer for a wide range of capabilities and functional from adoption to ease of use, to CRM capabilities, resource optimization, accounting, project controls and more. And we provide that level of breakdown for ERP tech, business intelligence and data analytics, accounting and payment, and collaboration and document management. Typically, these reports are exclusive to BuiltWorlds membership. But in celebrating BuiltWorlds' 10 year anniversary, we decided to open up some of our data to the public. So please enjoy this free look into our 2023 Project Software Benchmarking Report: https://lnkd.in/g5m-a4UG

Don't miss our recent article featuring actionable AI insights from Bluebeam CEO Usman Shuja! https://lnkd.in/egvq3wxt
In a recent interview with Authority Magazine, CEO of Bluebeam Usman Shuja shared his insights on AI’s role in disrupting the #AEC and #builtworld industry, highlighting the importance of strategic and ethical AI integration. Some highlights: - Purpose and Strategy: "The programs you develop must solve a particular pain point or create an opportunity that enables a competitive advantage." - Incremental Implementation and Change Management: “Start with simple and achievable goals, and prepare the workforce for AI implementation.” - Human-Centric AI: "AI can automate repetitive tasks, improve efficiency, and enhance safety, but human expertise is still crucial for complex decision-making, creativity, and adaptability." At C10 Labs, we agree with Usman’s application of #dimensional #AI in AEC/O and look forward to seeing how intentional, responsible, and ethical AI integration further improves project efficiency, collaboration, and new venture creation!
