This list is pretty long. Here are the ones that caught my eye.

  1. Accenture’s EV Charging Station Layout Optimization tool is a cloud-based solution designed to accelerate the expansion of new EV charging infrastructure. It utilizes satellite mapping to identify and analyze proposed stations, which allows the end user to propose charging point zones, utility locations, and non-construction areas. A spatial engine optimizes the layout of the charging point types within the allowed locations, accounting for collisions and physical constraints.
  2. Benchmark Construction has partnered with Truman Counseling Services to provide 100%-company-paid counseling services to its employees, spouses, and dependents up to age 26. These services are unlimited and confidential, with sessions available in person or virtually. They cover a wide range of topics, including stress management, addiction, ADD/ADHD, family and marriage, depression, anger management, and mental health concerns. The firm said usage rates have increased month after month since the program’s launch last October. To date, the program has seen 625 sessions in all (69% employee usage, 31% dependent usage; 65% usage by office staff, 35% usage by field staff).
  3. The Boldt Company established its modular/prefab business as a stand-alone entity called Bildt. The group makes permanent modular buildings and slide-in room and bathroom pods for building types that include healthcare, industrial, education, and commercial. It also prefabricates panels and components that include headwalls, exterior panels and systems, steel wall studs, and customizable interior framing assemblies
  4. Bozzuto Construction partnered with Blueprint Robotics on a prefab Passive House project in Baltimore, Md. The company’s “Blueprint Method” utilizes BIM technology to virtually construct projects and resolve coordination issues before construction begins. The firm then produces precision, wood-framed panels using CNC machinery and delivers a complete framing package to the site. “This process accelerated the schedule, minimized waste, and supported the rigorous detailing required for Passive House certification,” according to Bozzuto.
  5. Fortis Construction is leveraging robotics to streamline and automate the layout process on construction sites. The technology digitally transfers building plans onto the jobsite with millimeter-level accuracy. The robot autonomously moves across the slab, printing layout marks directly from models, ensuring that every wall, pipe, and fixture location is correctly positioned.
