T3 − THE OS<br />
FOR CONSTRUCTION<br />
Right now, EquipmentShare’s fleet is hard at work<br />
on construction sites across the country, from small<br />
jobs to the largest infrastructure projects. On every<br />
jobsite, we’re committed to helping our customers<br />
build with control by providing more than just the<br />
machines and tools needed to get the job done.<br />
We’re using technology to manage our fleet,<br />
helping contractors see the big picture and<br />
work more efficiently.<br />
T3, the Operating System for <strong>Construction</strong>, is<br />
EquipmentShare’s cloud-connected technology<br />
platform with apps that help your company monitor,<br />
track and manage its everyday operations — from<br />
work done on the jobsite, to drivers on the road,<br />
repairs in the service bay and accounting in the back<br />
office. Every EquipmentShare rental comes with<br />
T3 for the duration of the rental, and we use it to<br />
manage our own fleet of over 150,000 construction<br />
machines. Now, you can put the power of T3 to work<br />
on your own equipment as well.<br />
Easily allocate assets, people and materials. Identify<br />
equipment problems before they stop your work.<br />
Quickly access the data you need to make better<br />
business decisions. Replace the multiple systems,<br />
spreadsheets and ledgers you use now with one<br />
centralized solution. T3 provides versatility across<br />
all OEM hardware, which translates into safer,<br />
more secure and efficient operations. With a single<br />
tool, you’ll be able to manage your fleet the way<br />
EquipmentShare does, with:<br />
• GPS tracking and geofencing.<br />
• Employee time and task tracking.<br />
• Preventive maintenance scheduling.<br />
• Streamlined repair work planning.<br />
• Reporting and analysis tools.<br />
• Utilization management.<br />
• Driver compliance and safety.<br />
• T3 Dash Cams integration for vehicles and<br />
cabbed equipment.<br />
• Parts & inventory management.<br />
Transform your fleet — and your<br />
business — with T3.<br />
Visit T3.tech to find out how to turn your<br />
machines into a tech-powered fleet.<br />

OUR WINDOW<br />
HAS NO ANALOGS<br />
IN THE WORLD.<br />
OUR<br />
WINDOW<br />
IS UNIQUE.<br />
Unlike ordinary curtains,<br />
it uses the space between<br />
the parallel panes of the<br />
window. After a mechanical<br />
rotation, the space gets<br />
filled with an opaque<br />
substance of glass beads<br />
and small homogeneous<br />
granite flakes.<br />
When it comes to “green production” and energy<br />
conservation, we can state that our curtain created<br />
with glass beads is definitely more environmentally<br />
green and energy-saving than all other curtains. There are<br />
incomparably less natural or artificial raw materials and energy<br />
spent on its manufacturing and operation than in any other<br />
case. Glass beads are made of recycled materials. Our curtain<br />
does not need to be washed or ironed, which means that<br />
electrical or physical energy is not consumed, energy is limited<br />
only by the Earth’s gravity. In this regard, it is a real “champion”<br />
among existing competitors.<br />
At the international level, our product first appeared in<br />
2019 in Geneva at the Palexpo exhibition. The presented<br />
prototype caused a lot of positive emotions among attendees.<br />
In Switzerland, we also took the first steps in the search for<br />
international partners.<br />
After the Geneva International Exhibition in 2019, we were<br />
able to improve dramatically. With the help of Georgian<br />
and foreign contractors, simple details are individually<br />
manufactured for us in different countries from different<br />
materials.<br />
The product we are presenting at Houston <strong>Build</strong> <strong>Expo</strong><br />
— June 28-29, <strong>2023</strong> was invented in 2015 by Georgian<br />
businessman and scientist Ivane Chkhaidze and his partner<br />
Gogi Chechelashvili. The first patent was granted in 2015 in<br />
the Republic of Georgia. We have also patented the product in<br />
Japan, China and India. In addition, we are waiting for patents<br />
in Europe and in the USA.<br />
Our window is unique and has no analogs in the world. Unlike<br />
ordinary curtains, it uses the space between the parallel panes<br />
of the window. After a mechanical rotation, the space gets filled<br />
with glass beads, thus playing the role of curtains.<br />

Photo-realistic vs. Artificial-looking CGI Renders -<br />
How to Spot the Difference?<br />
Wednesday, 2:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | Floor C<br />
Daniella Ziade<br />
Business Development Manager | Boxbrownie<br />
CGI Renders has fast become the solution for marketing off-the-plan properties - helping potential buyers visualize what<br />
the finished build will look like while the foundations are being laid. The challenge in visualization often lies in presenting an<br />
image that accurately represents the end result, in a way that doesn’t detract from the overall presentation with cartoony or<br />
unrealistic details. From considering the lighting source, angles, textures, materials, and background, to checking the edges<br />
and making sure there aren’t any unrealistic shadows - an expert eye is vital in presenting professional marketing. In this<br />
seminar, we discuss some of the most common problems we see in renders and how to avoid them when marketing your<br />
property and help to fetch that higher sale price.<br />
Target Audience: <strong>Build</strong>ers, Real Estate Agents, Developers, Architects<br />

Executive Coach and Consultant | Business on Purpose<br />
The culture of your business is a DIRECT RESULT of the ingredients that you allow to enter into the building. Good<br />

to work for it…but how? Most strategies include a cross-your-fingers approach.<br />

clarity you need to build a culture that you are proud of and that all generations want to be a part of.<br />
Learning Objectives<br />

of great culture<br />

Saleh Mubarak<br />
Author, Public Speaker & Trainer<br />
Productivity adjustments and its impact on cost and duration. Estimating crew (labor and equipment) productivity is<br />
crucial to both the cost and duration of the project. This is why the contractor must make proper adjustments to estimated<br />
productivity for each work activity, taking into account all impacting factors such as weather conditions. But adjustments<br />
must also be considered with schedule updates because things rarely, if ever, go as planned. This presentation takes a quick<br />
look at this process with valuable tips for more accurate cost estimates and schedules.<br />

Thursday, 9:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m. | Room 302A<br />
Daren Goldin<br />
CEO | Goldin Solar<br />
Solar is a unique trade in the construction world, and can be very different from other more typical construction trades. In<br />
addition, the solar contractor typically plays a stronger role in design, and consultation with the designers of the ground up<br />
construction project due to the fact that it is a relatively new industry and MEP engineers are less familiar with particular<br />
solar design considerations. For that reason, timing of onboarding a solar installer is crucial to avoid rework in both design,<br />
and construction work performed. This talk will explore important considerations for architects, MEP engineers and General<br />
Contractors and how to interface with solar professionals during the project delivery process.<br />

Association of Black Women in <strong>Construction</strong><br />
(NABWIC), provides four solutions in this area.<br />
1. Promoting Education and Training: Increasing<br />
access to educational programs and vocational<br />
training opportunities is vital for empowering<br />
black women in construction. Scholarships,<br />
apprenticeship programs, and mentorship<br />
initiatives can help provide necessary skills and<br />
support.<br />
2. Mentorship and Networking Programs:<br />
Establishing mentorship programs that connect<br />
black women with experienced professionals in<br />
the industry can provide guidance, advice, and a<br />
strong support system. Networking events and<br />
forums tailored to their needs can also create<br />
valuable connections.<br />
Black Women in <strong>Construction</strong>:<br />
Empowering Others, Overcoming Obstacles<br />
and Driving Trends in <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong><br />
In the dynamic world of construction,<br />
black women are emerging as powerful<br />
contributors, breaking barriers, and reshaping<br />
the industry’s landscape. <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong>,<br />
in particular, has witnessed a surge in the<br />
presence of black women who are actively<br />
challenging gender and racial disparities.<br />
As these individuals forge their paths, they<br />
encounter various obstacles unique to their<br />
experiences, prompting the need for innovative<br />
solutions to foster inclusivity and opportunity<br />
for all.<br />
NABWIC has been instrumental in empowering<br />
black women in construction by providing them<br />
with a platform to connect, share knowledge,<br />
and access resources. Through its network<br />
of professionals, the organization offers<br />
mentorship programs, training workshops, and<br />
educational events tailored to the needs of<br />
black women in the industry. These initiatives<br />
have helped to develop and enhance the skills<br />
of its members, enabling them to excel in their<br />
careers and make significant contributions to<br />
the construction field.<br />
Trends in <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>Construction</strong><br />
<strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong>’s construction industry has<br />
experienced remarkable growth in recent<br />
years, with new infrastructure projects and<br />
development initiatives shaping the region.<br />
Within this landscape, black women are making<br />
their mark by engaging in a wide range of<br />
roles, from architects and engineers to project<br />
managers and skilled tradeswomen. Their<br />
diverse perspectives and skills contribute to<br />
innovative solutions, and their presence helps<br />
bridge the gender and racial gaps that have<br />
traditionally plagued the industry. NABWIC<br />
has been a driving force in promoting<br />
entrepreneurship among black women in<br />
construction. The organization recognizes the<br />
importance of economic empowerment and<br />
encourages its members to start their own<br />
businesses. NABWIC provides guidance and<br />
support in various aspects of entrepreneurship,<br />
including business development, access to<br />
capital, and networking opportunities<br />
Obstacles Faced by Black<br />
Women in <strong>Construction</strong><br />
Despite the progress made, black women in<br />
construction face a set of unique challenges.<br />
One primary obstacle is the persistent gender<br />
bias that exists within the industry, often<br />
leading to unequal opportunities for career<br />
advancement and fair compensation. This bias<br />
can be compounded when combined with<br />
racial discrimination, further marginalizing black<br />
women and hindering their growth.<br />
Moreover, black women may encounter<br />
limited access to mentorship and networking<br />
opportunities, which are crucial for professional<br />
development and career progression. The<br />
absence of relatable role models and mentors<br />
can make it more challenging for them to<br />
navigate the industry and overcome barriers.<br />
Four Solutions and Initiatives for Empowering<br />
Women & Fostering Diversity and Inclusion<br />
Recognizing the importance of fostering<br />
diversity and inclusion, various organizations,<br />
construction companies, and community<br />
leaders in <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> are actively working to<br />
address the obstacles faced by black women<br />
in construction. Specifically, the National<br />
3. Advocating for Equal Opportunities:<br />
<strong>Construction</strong> companies and industry<br />
leaders need to actively advocate for equal<br />
opportunities, eliminating gender and racial<br />
biases in hiring, promotion, and compensation<br />
practices. Implementing inclusive policies and<br />
fostering a culture of diversity will help break<br />
down barriers.<br />
4. Enhancing Visibility and Representation:<br />
Highlighting the achievements and successes<br />
of black women in construction through media<br />
coverage, conferences, and industry events is<br />
essential. Increasing visibility and representation<br />
can inspire future generations and challenge<br />
existing stereotypes. NABWIC’s newest project<br />
is to be a historian for the achievements of Black<br />
Women in <strong>Construction</strong>.<br />
By implementing these solutions, <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong><br />
can pave the way for a more inclusive and<br />
equitable construction industry, where black<br />
women thrive and contribute their unique<br />
talents and perspectives.<br />
As the construction sector evolves, embracing<br />
diversity and empowering black women will not<br />
only drive innovation but also ensure a more<br />
just and prosperous future for the industry. By<br />

Recession Protection Strategies to<br />
Increase & Retain Your Working Capital<br />
Without an offensive posture<br />
determined to save your company<br />
money, economic insecurities,<br />
supply chain disruptions,<br />
and managing a challenging<br />
workforce can influence<br />
companies to be more reactive,<br />
adjusting to the ever-changing<br />
rules and guidelines. Now is the<br />
time to be proactive, but most<br />
business owners cannot invest<br />
the hours to become a financial<br />
expert and stay current with the<br />
latest tax strategies.<br />
Businesses need a partner<br />
whose primary focus is to make<br />
companies more profitable. This<br />
can be accomplished through operational,<br />
insurance and tax strategies by minimizing<br />
your income tax so you can maximize your<br />
working capital to strengthen your company.<br />
We want to share 6 strategies you should<br />
consider to increase profitability at your<br />
construction company:<br />
1. Conduct a Utility Audit<br />
A utility audit company can get you refunded<br />
for past overcharges while also saving on<br />
future bills. They will look back three years on<br />
your utility bills and determine if you have any<br />
bills you should not be paying. On average,<br />
80-95% of companies qualify for a refund.<br />
They will also do an annual review for the next<br />
three years to help you find any additional<br />
savings.<br />
2. Apply for the Employee Retention Credit<br />
Employee Retention Credits (ERC) came<br />
out the same time as Paycheck Protection<br />
Program (PPP) loans as an incentive program<br />
to help stimulate the economy during the<br />
pandemic. Originally, you could choose<br />
either a PPP loan or ERC. At the end of 2020,<br />
Congress decided you could get both, as long<br />
as you back out the money received from<br />
your PPP loan employee forgiveness as well<br />
as other requirements. There are two ways to<br />
qualify for the ERC:<br />
1. Drop in sales of 50% from 2019 to 2020<br />
or a 20% decline by quarter for the first 3<br />
quarters of 2019 compared to 2021.<br />

2. A business disruption caused by a governmental mandate. This second method is the area that<br />
our tax attorney qualifies most construction companies as eligible. If you have been told that you<br />
don’t qualify as a construction company, it is worth a call to explain why you might.<br />
3. Rethink Health Insurance<br />
The American Healthcare Act has afforded the creation of programs beneficial<br />
to both the employer and the employee. These unique health insurance plans<br />
incorporate healthy lifestyle strategies that can make you as a business owner<br />
approximately $500 per employee per year. In addition, employees can save<br />
up to $1,800 per year by participating in the healthy lifestyle campaign. We<br />
help connect you to partners who manage all the details and allow you to add<br />
this benefit without changing the quality of care or even changing insurance<br />
companies.<br />
4. Eliminate Credit Card Charges<br />
Credit card fees are changing dramatically. We can help you reduce or eliminate<br />
your credit card fees by using a merchant processing platform that lowers your<br />
monthly merchant credit card processing fee by up to 15-20%. You can also<br />
receive a potential rebate, putting money back in your pocket.<br />
5. Be Proactive with Tax Planning<br />
Tax planning is not planning how much tax you have to pay; tax planning is planning on how<br />
to minimize your tax liability by utilizing tax strategies. We can help you reduce your adjusted<br />
gross income through charitable strategies and tax-deductible investments. This is a more<br />
customized approach and is worth a conversation.<br />
6. Defer Your Capital Gains<br />
If you are selling your company at any point, you could be facing substantial capital gains. We have<br />
strategies to defer capital gains, thereby enabling you to earn investment income on what you<br />
would otherwise pay in taxes. We can also increase FDIC limits on cash balances above $1 million.<br />
To give you an idea on the cost savings if you took advantage of these strategies, we have<br />
included a sample Texas <strong>Construction</strong> Company with potential savings.<br />
Fictitious Texas <strong>Construction</strong> Company<br />
50 Employees <strong>Monthly</strong> credit card sales: $100,000 Utility costs: $20,000<br />
Texas <strong>Construction</strong> Company<br />
Strategy 1: Utility Audit Savings $24,000<br />
Strategy 2: Credit Card Savings $42,000<br />
Strategy 3: ERC Savings $756,000<br />
Strategy 4: Health Insurance Savings $25,000<br />
Strategy 5: Tax Planning Savings $285,392<br />
Aggregate Savings: $1,132,392<br />
As you can see, there are substantial savings in each strategy that your company could capitalize<br />
on. All of these strategies require no up-front cost to you, other than your time. By shifting to an<br />
offensive posture, you could save your company hundreds of thousands of dollars.<br />

Solar<br />
power is<br />
rapidly<br />
changing<br />
the world.<br />
This is a well-established fact at this point<br />
in time. The question is: Is that relevant<br />
to you and your life? That question, in<br />
short can be answered with the following:<br />
Do you consume electricity? Do you live<br />
or work in buildings that<br />
have roofs? While the<br />
existence of solar power is<br />
not particularly new, there<br />
is something happening in<br />
the solar industry at this<br />
moment that is making<br />
solar power increasingly<br />
relevant to not only solar<br />
professionals, but also<br />
DAREN<br />
GOLDIN<br />
CEO, FOUNDER<br />
OF GOLDIN<br />
SOLAR, LLC.<br />
to anyone in the building<br />
industry, including<br />
construction and design<br />
professions. The reason<br />
that solar is more front and<br />
center for anyone involved<br />
in designing and building buildings is mass<br />
adoption of solar is approaching the tipping<br />
point in terms of its popularity.<br />
The cause relates to a myriad of factors: more<br />
people have seen solar systems firsthand<br />
with friends and family, the technology<br />
has greatly evolved, the economics of solar<br />
are now highly attractive to purchasers,<br />
increased catastrophic weather events have<br />
made people want to take personal steps to<br />
mitigate climate change, to name just a few.<br />
The fact remains that the demand for solar<br />
by the public will soar and any construction<br />
and design professionals that are well versed<br />
about solar will be positioned to participate<br />
in this massive business growth opportunity.<br />
This article is directed to building and design<br />
professionals, including, General Contractors<br />
34 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM
(project managers, superintendents,<br />
estimators, and schedulers), developers, and<br />
designers (architects and MEP engineers). It is<br />
intended to shed light on solar and empower<br />
industry professionals with the ability to make<br />
informed decisions about how to integrate<br />
solar power into their practice.<br />
My name is Daren Goldin, I am the founder<br />
and CEO of Goldin Solar, LLC. Goldin Solar<br />
was established in February 2014, in Miami<br />
with the purpose of making the benefits of<br />
solar power accessible to everyday consumers<br />
for both residential and commercial building<br />
owners and operators. In the early days<br />
of solar in <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> (yes, relative to<br />
<strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> 2014 was still considered the<br />
early days for solar), the industry was quite<br />
new to everyone. City officials such as plan<br />
reviewers and building inspectors generally<br />
didn’t understand the nuances of solar and<br />
how electrical codes applied to solar vs. more<br />
traditional electrical systems. In short, our<br />
role as one of the pioneers of the rooftop<br />
solar industry in <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> was not only<br />
to design and install solar systems, but it<br />
was also to educate. We educated the public<br />
on how solar can work for them, incentives,<br />
economics, the products, and types of<br />
systems available. We also educated building<br />
officials including reviewers and inspectors<br />
in many different AHJs (there are about 70<br />
different building departments between<br />
Miami-Dade and Broward alone). So much<br />
of our energy spent in the early days went to<br />
informing the officials on how code applied<br />
to solar, we used to joke that we were really<br />
an engineering/permitting company with a<br />
construction arm, rather than a construction<br />
company that did their own in-house<br />
engineering and permitting. The types of<br />
customers that signed up for solar back in<br />
2014 were what economists would refer to as<br />
“early adopters”.<br />
In those days, the economics made sense,<br />
but the payback period for a solar system<br />
was around 10 years, whereas it is closer to<br />
7 years today. But perhaps one of the most<br />
defining characteristics about the early days<br />
of rooftop solar in <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> was that<br />
the solar industry was growing from the<br />
inside out. Meaning that there were very few<br />
solar providers, few consumers that were<br />
interested in installing solar panels, and the<br />
growth of the industry was slow and steady.<br />
Most general contractors or architects<br />
generally felt like it was a trend and was not<br />
well established enough for them to bother<br />
offering solar to their customers. That is<br />
of-course a tendency to adhere to “business<br />
as usual”, which the building industry is<br />
so famous for. And solar is anything but<br />
“business as usual”. And thus, the early days<br />
of solar in <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> consisted mostly of<br />
business directly between solar providers to<br />
end-users such as homeowners.<br />
Over the past few years, that trend has<br />
started to change as solar has grown beyond<br />
the early adopters and into the mainstream.<br />
Solar is now better understood by the public.<br />
By now, most people understand what<br />
net-metering is (the mechanism that allows<br />
a homeowner to “buy and sell” their solar<br />
power with the grid as needed throughout<br />
the day with fluctuation in their solar supply<br />
and home energy needs). Most people<br />
understand the economic premise of solar:<br />
invest money upfront, recover the investment<br />
in around 7 years, and quadruple or quintuple<br />
the invested cost over the 25-year warranted<br />
life of the solar system, or finance a solar<br />
system with zero dollars down, and pay back<br />
less to the lender than the amount offset<br />
on the utility bill. In short, most people now<br />
consider solar a no-brainer which has made<br />
this industry take off.<br />
“<br />
The reason that solar<br />
is more front and center<br />
for anyone involved in<br />
designing and building<br />
buildings is mass adoption<br />
of solar is approaching the<br />
tipping point in terms of its<br />
popularity.<br />
Exactly how much is solar projected to<br />
grow over the next few years? Consider<br />
this: there was a time when no new building<br />
was outfitted with a crazy machine that<br />
could change the indoor temperature of a<br />
room. Now, new construction without air<br />
conditioning simply does not exist. That<br />
could very well be the outlook for the solar<br />
industry. For the same reasons that builders<br />
and designers need to understand the basics<br />
of HVAC, solar, which may be as ubiquitous<br />
some day would probably be best also<br />
understood by builders and designers. Here<br />
are the basics you need to know about:<br />
Consider the two types of relevant solar<br />
systems: Grid-Tied and Grid-Tied/Battery<br />
Backed-Up. Note, in both system types,<br />
the home is connected to the local utilities<br />
power grid to utilize net metering. The only<br />
difference is that one system does not include<br />
batteries and one system does. If batteries are<br />
not included, then the solar system must turn<br />
off when the grid is down to prevent harming<br />
a powerline worker, while trying to fix the<br />
downed grid. Therefore, without batteries, the<br />
solar system will save the homeowner money<br />
on their utility bill, but it cannot also function<br />
as a source of backup power. If batteries<br />
are included (Grid-Tied/Battery Backed-Up<br />
system), then the system will serve both to<br />
save money on energy expenses and it will<br />
serve as backup for the home when the grid<br />
goes down for any reason (such as a hurricane<br />
outage).<br />
Timing of onboarding a solar contractor to<br />
a new construction project: This item has<br />
proven to be counter-intuitive to General<br />
Contractors. GCs are familiar with the most<br />
common type of project delivery methods:<br />
Design-Bid-<strong>Build</strong>. In that type of project<br />
delivery method, a customer, let’s say a<br />
developer that wants to build a house on a<br />
lot they own, hires an architect (designer)<br />
to design the home to their specifications.<br />
They will then take that design and send it<br />
out to multiple General Contractors to bid<br />
the work. The General Contractors will send<br />
out the design to their subcontractors, each<br />
to bid their respective scope. In this type of<br />
project delivery, the design is assumed to be<br />
complete and correct by the architect and<br />
their sub-consultants (structural, MEP, site/<br />
civil, etc.) before it is sent to GC to bid.<br />
However, what happens when the standard<br />
MEP engineers are simply not familiar the<br />
nuances and design considerations of the<br />
solar industry? One of two things: incorrect<br />
design specifying outdated products,<br />
incorrect means to interconnect the solar<br />
system to the home’s electrical system or,<br />
they consult a local solar contractor to assist<br />
in the design to ensure that the plans are<br />
correct before<br />

CONSTRUCTION TECH<br />
REVOLUTIONIZING THE INDUSTRY<br />
AI-GENERATED CONTENT<br />
EDITED BY BUILD EXPO USA<br />
Technology plays a crucial role in the<br />
construction industry, transforming the<br />
way projects are designed, planned, and<br />
executed. Its importance in construction<br />
can be seen in several aspects: increasing<br />
efficiency, improving safety, enabling<br />
sustainable practices, enhancing design and<br />
visualization, ensuring quality control, and<br />
facilitating effective project management.<br />
Embracing technology allows construction<br />
professionals to overcome challenges,<br />
optimize processes, and deliver better-built<br />
environments.<br />
Tech improves efficiency by streamlining<br />
processes, utilizing advanced tools like<br />
building information modeling (BIM) and<br />
robotics, and saving time and costs. Safety<br />
is enhanced through wearable devices, IoT<br />
(Internet of Things) sensors, and virtual<br />
reality (VR)/augmented reality (AR) training,<br />
ensuring worker well-being and risk reduction.<br />
Technology enables improved design and<br />
visualization through detailed 3D models,<br />
simulations, and collaborative platforms,<br />
allowing stakeholders to make informed<br />
decisions. It promotes sustainable construction<br />
practices with green technologies and<br />
efficient resource management. Quality<br />
control is enhanced through monitoring<br />
systems, drones for inspections, and early<br />
issue detection. Additionally, technology aids<br />
in project management and communication,<br />
facilitating coordination, document sharing,<br />
and real-time updates among team members.<br />
Overall, technology revolutionizes the<br />
construction industry, driving efficiency, safety,<br />
sustainability, quality, and effective project<br />
outcomes.<br />
Improved Efficiency<br />
Technology streamlines various processes,<br />
reducing manual effort and increasing overall<br />
productivity. Advanced tools and equipment<br />
such as BIM, drones, and robotics enable faster<br />
and more accurate data collection, design<br />
visualization, and construction execution. This<br />
efficiency helps save time, reduce costs, and<br />
improve project schedules.<br />
Enhanced Safety<br />
Safety is a top priority in construction, and<br />
technology plays a vital role in mitigating<br />
risks and ensuring worker well-being.<br />
38 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM
Wearable devices, such as smart helmets<br />
and vests, can monitor vital signs and<br />
detect potential hazards in real-time. IoT<br />
sensors and automation can help detect<br />
structural weaknesses or environmental<br />
dangers, alerting workers to take preventive<br />
measures. Additionally, VR and AR can<br />
provide immersive safety training, allowing<br />
workers to practice hazardous scenarios in a<br />
controlled environment.<br />
Improved Design and Visualization:<br />
Technology enables architects, engineers, and<br />
construction professionals to create detailed<br />
3D models and simulations before the actual<br />
construction begins. BIM software allows for<br />
collaborative design and coordination among<br />
various stakeholders, reducing errors and<br />
conflicts during construction. Visualization<br />
tools like VR and AR provide realistic<br />
representations of projects, enabling clients<br />
and investors to better understand the final<br />
outcomes and make informed decisions.<br />
Sustainable <strong>Construction</strong><br />
With growing environmental concerns,<br />
technology plays a crucial role in promoting<br />
sustainable construction practices. Green<br />
building technologies and materials, such as<br />
solar panels, energy-efficient systems, and<br />
recycled materials, contribute to reducing<br />
carbon emissions and energy consumption.<br />
Additionally, advanced monitoring systems<br />
can track resource usage, allowing for<br />
efficient management of energy, water, and<br />
waste throughout the construction process<br />
and the life cycle of the building.<br />
Quality Control and Inspection<br />
Technology aids in ensuring construction<br />
quality and accuracy. Sensors and monitoring<br />
devices can measure structural performance,<br />
identify defects, and detect potential issues<br />
like moisture or temperature variations.<br />
Drones equipped with cameras and sensors<br />
enable aerial inspections, capturing highresolution<br />
images and videos for close<br />
analysis. These technologies help detect<br />
problems early on, leading to improved<br />
construction quality and reduced rework.<br />
Project Management and Communication:<br />
<strong>Construction</strong> projects involve numerous<br />
stakeholders, including architects,<br />
engineers, contractors, suppliers, and<br />
clients. Technology facilitates effective<br />
project management and communication<br />
by providing centralized platforms for<br />
collaboration, document sharing, and<br />
real-time updates. Project management<br />
software, cloud-based storage systems, and<br />
communication tools simplify coordination,<br />
decision-making, and information exchange<br />
among team members, resulting in improved<br />
project outcomes.<br />

There’s More than One Way to<br />
Calculate ROI for Autonomous Work<br />
Improvement in consistency & quality<br />
Because autonomy provides consistent,<br />
accurate and uniform results with much less<br />
variation than a human worker can provide, it<br />
naturally boosts quality, which can improve ROI.<br />
Autonomous technology also prevents<br />
costly and time-consuming rework due to<br />
deviations and reduces the errors and flaws<br />
that result from manual work — both of which<br />
positively contribute to the bottom line.<br />
New revenue opportunities<br />
When autonomous work allows processes<br />
to be completed faster without sacrificing<br />
quality or safety, your team can take on more<br />
jobs — and expand their capabilities. This<br />
opens doors to new revenue possibilities.<br />
“If you’re a construction contractor, simply<br />
having technology as part of your portfolio<br />
can differentiate you and help you stand<br />
out from the pack, which naturally creates<br />
new revenue opportunities,” explains Giri<br />
Baleri, director of product management and<br />
strategic marketing, off-road autonomy, at<br />
Trimble. These new opportunities could come<br />
in the form of your ability to take on more<br />
work, offer new services or present fasttracked<br />
schedules to customers.<br />
Safety improvements<br />
“Autonomy means you don’t have to put<br />
operators in harm’s way,” explains Baleri. “In<br />
construction, we hear that the most common<br />
cause of injury is someone trying to get in<br />
and out of a machine on a site. If you can<br />
minimize the number of times this happens,<br />
you could minimize safety issues and increase<br />
return on investment.<br />

Why Contractors Need Integrated<br />
<strong>Construction</strong> Technology<br />
Technology is a big investment, and it’s<br />
common for contractors to invest in multiple<br />
systems for different operations to run their<br />
businesses. When these systems are not<br />
integrated, getting the right information to the<br />
right people at the right time is difficult and<br />
inefficient.<br />
Data from FMI and Plan Grid shows that 22%<br />
of contractors saw failure in implementing a<br />
construction technology because it did not<br />
integrate well with their existing technology<br />
and software. Not integrating is among the<br />
top three reasons tech fails, proving that<br />
integrated construction software is becoming a<br />
requirement.<br />
Automation of data flow to connect systems<br />
With integrated systems, you get accurate data<br />
in whichever system you use, as opposed to<br />
translating information between two systems<br />
or referring to stale information that was never<br />
updated manually.<br />
Maximize and maintain investments<br />
Integrated systems maximize productivity and<br />
extend the use of the systems contractors<br />
already invested time and money into<br />
deploying. Integrating allows contractors to<br />
utilize their systems and team members to<br />
their fullest potential.<br />
Maximize efficiencies and simplify processes<br />
When systems are integrated, you spend less<br />
time in each and get to spend more time doing<br />
other activities that help drive revenue.<br />
Integrated software has a powerful impact on<br />
the way contractors operate as an organization<br />
and their ability to gain competitive advantages<br />
over the competition.<br />
