The Evolution of Building Intelligence Commercial buildings have undergone a profound transformation over the past decade, evolving from structures with basic time-scheduled systems to sophisticated environments capable of learning, adapting, and optimizing their own performance. This revolution stems from the...

The Imperative for Decarbonising Building Systems The construction sector stands at a critical juncture where environmental responsibility intersects with economic viability and regulatory compliance. Buildings account for nearly 40 percent of global energy-related carbon emissions, with 28 percent stemming from...

The global construction industry confronts an acute and growing workforce crisis that threatens project viability across sectors. Experienced craft workers trained through traditional apprenticeships retire faster than replacement workers enter the trades. Younger generations, increasingly oriented toward digital careers and...

Large-scale concrete pours represent some of construction’s most complex operations, involving coordination of hundreds of workers, sophisticated equipment, specialized materials, and precise sequencing to achieve successful completion. Continuous concrete placement operations for bridge decks, parking structures, or industrial foundations...

Infrastructure and industrial facilities operating in extreme environments confront material challenges that conventional concrete struggles to overcome. Mining operations expose concrete to continuous abrasive particle impact, chemical attacks from ore processing byproducts, and moisture conditions promoting rapid deterioration. Tunnels...

Researchers at Oregon State University have gone ahead and developed a quick-setting and environmentally friendly option to concrete which is a new clay-based material and which they hope can one day be made use of so as to 3D...

Large-scale concrete slab construction has long relied on manual finishing labor, a physically demanding and skill-dependent process vulnerable to inconsistent results across expansive surfaces. Workers wielding power trowels and screeds spend extended shifts applying uniform pressure and achieving flatness...
