As AGC of Kentucky’s chapter executive, I have been fortunate to lead an organization that places a strong emphasis on strategic planning.

The construction industry was one of the fortunate few that was able — in most parts of the country — to keep working during the pandemic-induced lockdowns.

Contractors use augmented reality (AR) in a number of ways on a variety of projects to show clients a space, resolve clashes and under-stand how much work has been finished.

Two sets of recent survey results show contractors hold divergent views about the outlook for construction.

Faster connections. Less lag time. Ability to connect more devices simultaneously. These three benefits of a 5G wireless network have the potential to significantly affect productivity, safety and quality on a construction site.

One of the clear impacts of the coronavirus pandemic is the acceleration of a host of innovations that were already underway within the construction industry and our association.

The long-predicted robotic future of construction has begun. The industry has lagged behind others like automotive and aerospace in adopting robotic labor because, until now, most building robots could only operate efficiently in a controlled, consistent environment like a factory.

The escalating racial tensions across the country have been weighing heavy on all our minds.

The construction industry has a rep for being slow on the tech uptake. We asked Gonzalo Galindo why.

It probably goes without saying that it’s been a challenging year for us all.
