    Are Robotic Coworkers Soon a Reality in Construction?

    March 24, 2026 —
    General-purpose humanoid robots are in the headlines, but is the hype justified? What’s the point of having a robot home assistant when it still needs a “guy behind the curtain” to control it remotely? Despite the challenges, robots, even those that look like humans, are seriously considered as future coworkers in business environments. According to the McKinsey report ‘Will embodied AI create robotic coworkers?‘ the idea that AI-powered robots will become general-purpose coworkers is grounded in real technological progress, but not an overnight reality.

    Should Post Contract Award Tariffs be Reimbursable? Why Public Works Contractors Deserve Clarity

    November 18, 2025 —
    Public works contractors across Washington and the U.S. are grappling with a costly and unresolved question: when the federal government imposes new import tariffs after a contract has been awarded, do those tariffs entitle contractors to additional compensation? The answer depends on the contract and the public agency. Some public works contracts tie relief directly to whether tariffs are considered “taxes.” Others frame their adjustment clauses more broadly, focusing on changes in law or government-imposed costs. For contractors, the distinction is critical. Read the full story...

    The Single Source of Truth in Construction Projects: Reality or Myth?

    March 24, 2026 —
    The idea of a single source of truth has been a fundamental part of the digital vision in the AEC industry for many years. From centralized CAD storage to BIM collaboration platforms and, more recently, Common Data Environments, the goal stays the same. Project teams want a reliable place where everyone can access the latest information. The phrase “single source of truth” comes from database and information management practices in the IT world, where the goal was to maintain one authoritative record of data and eliminate data redundancy. As the AEC industry began adopting digital tools, the same idea was applied to project information and workflows. Despite decades of technological progress, the question remains whether “one ring that rules them all” can actually be implemented in real construction projects. Read the full story...
