🔷 PUBLISHER’S NOTE

AI in construction is quickly moving beyond the conversation stage. This week, we’re seeing it applied to estimating, payroll, ERP, project intelligence and everyday workflows — solving practical problems where time, accuracy and better decisions matter.

Also in this edition: new approaches to tracking job profitability and weather-related costs, measurable progress tracking for heavy civil projects, construction payment technology gaining global recognition, and a Canadian push to rethink how public agencies procure construction software. There’s a lot happening across ConTech so let’s get into it.

Thanks for subscribing.

Sincerely,

Publisher & President

What a Weather-Lost Day Actually Costs Your Project

Idle labor is a third of the bill at most.

See how real-time field capture prices the full day inside the notice window, feeds contractual notice and change orders, and builds a loss library your estimators can bid against.
