Transformation in the building materials
industry

Companies are using intelligent technology to replace delays and shortages with supply chain
resilience and manufacturing sustainability.

Rapid urban expansion

The new built environment will exist in limited space, with densification replacing sprawl and urban growth pushing up, not out.

Construction supply chain issues

To respond quickly to change – despite broken supply chains and construction materials and labor shortages – companies need full visibility.

Sustainable building materials and operations

Construction regulations – and customers – now demand greener actions, more recycled building materials, and manufacturing sustainability.

Rise of prefab construction materials

There’s an upswing in prefabricated building materials. Why? If smart manufacturing lets you deliver a ready-made wall including windows – why not?

Diverse stakeholder expectations

Planners, architects, owners, sub-contractors, building material suppliers, and complexity abound. The key to success: one source of truth.

Digitalization of construction processes

AI-powered automation, along with building information modeling (BIM), are enabling same-page collaboration across the industry.
