Fabrication of construction materials continues to evolve, becoming more and more efficient, accurate and effective. Pypeserver has developed their own proprietary file formats, processes and software to push the envelope and provide best in class fabrication. David shares his thoughts on fabrication, and introduces the idea of a 'well constructed point solution.'

BIM is critical to most construction workflows - as expectations for quality BIM work continue to grow, companies like BIM Designs help owners and contractors to handle the work. Mark Oden shares how his team have built a world class, union-centric BIM detailing crew.

CSI has been the steward and producer of the MasterFormat, UniFormat and OmniClass standards for decades. CSI now makes these available digitally through an API. Rick takes us through the value of the API and its unique "crosswalking" functionality, as well as what it takes to make a truly world-class API.

Construction projects are full of repetitive, tedious, but necessary tasks, like filing daily reports, administering orientations, and so on. Nyfty.ai creates 'bots' that handle critical tasks like these, and leverages powerful natural language understanding to make interacting with these bots fast and easy. As more and more processes digitize, understanding how to automate these processes will be critical.

Supply chain and Logistics are one of the more complex parts of any operation, and construction is especially complex. James Swanston applies critical lessons learned in a military career to the problems of logistics in construction, and gives us some ideas for where supply chain and logistics will evolve in the future.

More and more attention is being paid to preconstruction processes. Jeff Sample, head of communications at Join, explains that the key missing ingredient in many preconstruction processes is effective communication amongst different teams. Join was designed to provide the tools and platform to facilitate those communications.
