Technology seems to be simultaneously disrupting and driving change in today’s preconstruction industry.

Construction projects have been described as organized chaos. Architects and engineers, who admittedly do not know everything about the complex systems they are designing, work with both traditional and new materials to develop a design that mostly meets the requirements of the owner.

I have been asked before: What is the difference between a CEO and an executive director? Both are leadership titles in organizations.

Kingspan Insulated Panels North America announces that its QuadCore Technology was specified for a complete rebuild of the Holiday Inn in Panama City, Florida, after Hurricane Michael damaged the building in October of 2018. 

The doubly curving roof edge on the Antonov Auditorium called for specific expertise to develop the light-gauge framing and connection system.

A proposed new U.S. Dept. of Labor regulation that would reshape apprenticeship programs across a wide range of industries has drawn sharply divided reactions from construction industry groups, with unions praising the plan, a major contractor group strongly criticizing it, and other contractor associations with relationships with unions also welcoming the proposed rule.

No matter how hard any contractor works toward being organized and efficient, there are more significant issues at play that cause projects to go over-budget and over-schedule these days.
