George Watts, Director of Project Management, SLS Consultants For decades, the construction industry has grappled with communications problems, worker burnout, costly errors, schedule slippage, waste and more. The rise of artificial intelligence has placed the industry at a crossroads. We are left to wonder whether AI’s growing implementation will be a boon for efficiency or a bane for organizational stability and jobs.

Fremont, CA: Material selection determines how modern construction projects will perform their work while showing their aesthetic value and achieving their environmental sustainability goals. Architectural aluminum has become the primary choice for modern designers and developers because it delivers both structural strength and flexible design options and superior material performance.

Mark H. Wayne, PhD, PE, F. ASCE, Director of Application Technology & Engineering, Tensar, a division of CMC I translate complexity by treating every technical problem as a decision problem. The first step is clarifying what decision the customer actually needs to make, choice of concept, risk acceptance, constructability path, schedule constraint or cost boundary. Once the decision is clear, I structure the engineering around three elements: assumptions, options and consequences.

Construction Tech Review’s latest edition showcases companies reshaping the construction and property technology landscape through intelligent digital tools and practical innovation. Empoli has been named as the Top AI 3D Floor Plan Software 2026, acknowledging its contribution to improving how professionals create, interpret, and utilize floor plan visualizations in modern construction workflows.

Jeremy Register, Director of Virtual Design and Construction, Metcon, Inc A Career Built Across Design and Construction Phases My approach to leading virtual design and construction initiatives has been shaped by hands-on experience across both design and construction workflows. I developed an early interest in drafting in high school, which evolved into architectural drafting with AutoCAD.

Nicholas DiRenzo, Virtual Design & Construction Director, Meyer Najem Complex construction projects today are defined by tight schedules, evolving regulations, constrained sites and unpredictable existing conditions. These factors create on-site surprises, miscommunications, change orders and substantial rework that inflate costs and undermine project certainty.

Jesse Garcia, Safety Manager, E-Z Bel Construction, LLC In my tenure as a safety professional, I have learned that the most effective approach to promoting safety culture is simple: listen, understand, and encourage. Too often in our profession, safety efforts are driven by finger-pointing rather than fact-finding. I have witnessed—and at times been subject to—situations where the focus was on assigning blame to one individual instead of investigating root causes and reviewing systems.

Kate Parmenter, Construction Integration Manager, The Waldinger Corporation In complex construction environments, integration isn’t really about software - it’s about people. The best tools in the world won’t fix misalignment between engineering, project management, and field teams if expectations aren’t clear from the start. Alignment begins early, often before a project even kicks off, by getting everyone on the same page about goals, responsibilities, and what success actually looks like.
